Sterling Silver History

Experts consider that silver alloy, used today as sterling silver, originated in continental Europe in the 12th century. Pure silver was once found to be a soft and easily damageable material. When combined with other metals, most commonly cooper, it produced a tougher material that may be heavily relied on. All the way through the following few centuries, sterling silver was once used as currency and for household items. It was once continuously used as silverware and became the material used in a proper table setting between 1840 and 1940 All the way through the US and Europe. On account of this popularity, silver companies began to grow. All through this craze, companies began to experiment the usage of sterling silver compositions in jewelry, as it was once a material that was once easy to mold into intricate designs and gave a luxurious look with its metallic finish. Today, sterling silver is widely used in a wide variety of jewelry styles and shines as beautifully as other precious metals, with the advantage of affordable pricing.

Sterling Silver Composition

While pure silver may also be combined with many several types of metals, sterling silver is created when combining pure silver with copper. Sterling silver jewelry may also be composed with different amounts of copper but is most continuously 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 must not come into contact with harsh household chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, or chlorine. To steer clear of 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 frequently will prevent this and help handle its shine. Immediately upon noticing any discoloration, use a gentle polish made specifically for removing tarnish.
