What is fine silver and sterling silver? Fine silver, or pure silver contains 99.9% silver(Ag) metal. It is too soft to making jewelry, especially rings and pendants that have stones.They are not strong enough to hold the gems. Sterling is a particular grade of silver; it's an alloy typically made up of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually is copper. Then it becomes moderate soft with ductility, very suitable for jewel casting, grinding, polishing and gemstone setting.
Why do we choose sterling silver jewelery? 1. Generally nobody is allergic to silver, very safe to wear. 2. Sterling silver is precious metal, but not so "precious" like gold or platinum. Students, young boys & girls, they are all affordable. 3. It's metal value exists forever, same as gold and platinum. it has a unified global market investment value.(USD 17/OZ on 2016-12-14) 4. Sterling silver jewelry have a wider variety in designs. They can be exquisite like gold or platinum jewelry; They also can be rough and big like fashion jewelry. How can we identify sterling silver jewelry? 1. If the selling price is very low, be cautious! The silver metal market price is USD 17/OZ(2016-12-14), so we can assume the lowest cost with its metal weight. If the selling price is lower than the cost, it cannot be real sterling silver. 2. Sterling silver jewelery have hallmark or stamp like 925/92.5/S925. Usually it is inside of the rings, back of the pendants/earrings, on the tag of the chain necklaces. But this is only an additional means of confirmation. There are too many fakes on the market. 3. Feel the weight. Density of silver is about a half of gold, 1.5 times of zinic alloy, 1.2 times of stainless steel and brass. So if the size volume is same, the sterling silver jewelry will be much lighter than pure gold jewelry; obviously heavier than zinic alloy metal jewelry; a little heavier than stainless and brass jewelry.
