Paula says - "Hand made sterling silver beads of this weight and quality are getting harder and harder to find. Each bead is hand drawn, smooth, punched for holes, soldered, antiqued, polished, and strung on chain."

About Silver100% solid silver won't tarnish but it is too soft to use for making jewelry - it could easily be scratched, dented and bent. Sterling silver has a small amount of one or more other metals usually copper, added to the silver. To be called sterling silver, the alloy must contain at least 92.5% pure silver. Sterling silver alloy is harder than pure silver but the added metals also can cause discoloration or tarnish. |
