DEEP SILVER ACCESSORY - official website, last updated Jun 14 2006
Description
Pure silver is usually considered too soft for jewellery purposes so it is alloyed with small quantities of copper. Sterling Silver is considered the standard for silver jewellery and has been used since the 14th century. Sterling Silver (STG SIL) is made up of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper.
The small percentage of copper hardens the silver sufficiently to make it suitable for jewellery, watches, cutlery, bowls and picture frames etc.
Silver is the most reflective metal, however it does tarnish due to sulphur and other oxidants in the air and on our skin. To remove the tarnish the simple use of a special Silver Dip or rubbing with a Silver Cloth is all that is required to renew the brilliance and shine.
