"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 jewelry or pendants. Therefore the silver is mixed with a firmer metal such as copper or zinc to give it durability. However, silver jewelry is often manufactured with higher silver content due to its inherent precious metal value.
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. 99.99% of all silver jewelry is stamped with one of the following Silver Hallmarks:
"SS" |
"Sterling" |
"Sterling Silver" |
"800" |
"925" |
"925/1000" |
"999" |
