Sterling Silver History
Experts believe that silver alloy, used today as sterling silver,
originated in continental Europe in the 12th century. Pure silver
was found to be a soft and easily damageable material. When
combined with other metals, most commonly cooper, it produced a
tougher material that could be heavily relied on. Throughout the
next few centuries, sterling silver was used as currency and for
household items. It was often used as silverware and became the
material used in a proper table setting between 1840 and 1940
throughout the United States and Europe. Because of this
popularity, silver companies began to grow. During this craze,
companies began to experiment using sterling silver compositions
in jewelry, as it was a material that was easy to mold into
intricate designs and gave a luxurious look with its metallic
finish. Today, sterling silver is widely used in all kinds of
jewelry styles and shines as beautifully as other precious
metals, with the benefit of affordable pricing.
Sterling Silver Composition
While pure silver can be combined with many different types of
metals, sterling silver is created when combining pure silver
with copper. Sterling silver jewelry can be composed with
different as of copper but is most often seen with the .925
stamp, meaning that the composition is of 92.5 percent silver and
7.5 percent copper. This has been found to be a good combination
for maintaining the silver's durability without harming its
sparkle.

scratches, store silver in a lined jewelry box or pouch, as it is
prone to tarnish as it naturally reacts with sulfur or hydrogen
sulfide in the air. Cleaning and wearing silver jewelry regularly
will prevent this and help maintain its shine. Immediately upon
noticing any discoloration, use a gentle polish made specifically
for removing tarnish.
Metallic Chains

accessory during the ancient Roman times, when woman wore gold
