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 frequently 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. As a result of this popularity, silver companies started to grow. Throughout this craze, companies started to experiment the use 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 good thing about 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 frequently 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 keep away from scratches, store silver in a lined jewelry box or pouch, as it is susceptible to tarnish as it naturally reacts with sulfur or hydrogen sulfide in the air. Cleaning and wearing silver jewelry incessantly will prevent this and lend a hand care for its shine. Right away upon noticing any discoloration, use a gentle polish made specifically for taking out tarnish.

These silver pieces are built for longevity. This piece features a metal plating or flashing, or an electrocoating for a more lustrous appearance, but it can wear off with long-term or heavy use. To verify the longevity of your plated items store your jewelry in a dark, cool, dry place such as a pouch or air tight box and keep away from rubbing plated items together. Also try to keep away from exposure to cleaning products and perfume which can both negatively impact your items. Your local jeweler can advise you where to send your jewelry if you would ever like them replated.
