"Sterling Silver" is the term used for material that bares Silver content of at least 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals which is usually copper. Fine silver (99.9% pure) is generally too soft for producing large functional objects such as flatware or serving pieces. Therefore the silver is mixed with a firmer metal such as copper or zinc to give it durability.
Throughout history, most countries have developed a system to indicate the purity of the silver alloy used by the manufacturer, to identify the silversmith or company that made the piece and also to note the date and/or location of the manufacture. In order for us to purchase Sterling Silver Flatware or Serving Pieces, the item must bare one of the following hallmarks:
"SS" |
"Sterling" |
"Sterling Silver" |
"800" |
"925" |
"925/1000" |
"999" |
