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.
Caring for Your Sterling Silver Jewelry
Silver should not come into contact with harsh household s such as bleach, ammonia, or chlorine. To avoid
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.
