Types of Sterling Silver

Fine silver, which is at its natural state, is 999/1000 pure. That kind of purity makes it too soft for molding into everyday products. In order for silver to be hard enough and suitable for arts and crafts, alloying with other metallic components is a must.

Sterling silver is a mixture of 92.5% pure fine silver and other metal alloys. It is the most popular concentration found in silvery items, and a marking of "925" can be visibly noted engraved onto either the backside or the inside of each piece. It is the most ideal percentage for having enough durability without loosing much of the natural bright sheen.

Silver plating is when a base metal is covered with a layer of pure silver. This form of production is a popular alternative for more affordable prices. However, it will be necessary to coat the jewelry item with a layer of silver every once in a while to keep the base metal from showing through over time and wear.

Vermeil is sterling silver jewelry electroplated with at least 100 millionths of an inch of karat gold, giving it a nice and sophisticated appearance.

German or Nickel silver is a silvery-white alloy consisting of copper, zinc and nickel. But since many people have allergic reactions to nickel, this form is not as popular in products worn against the skin.
