About
Silver  100%
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.
