Sterling Silver History
Experts
believe that silver alloy, used today as sterling silver, originated in
continental Europe in the 12th century. Pure silver was found to be a soft and
easily damageable material. When combined with other metals, most commonly
cooper, it produced a tougher material that could be heavily relied on.
Throughout the next few centuries, sterling silver was used as currency and for
household items. It was often used as silverware and became the material used
in a proper table setting between 1840 and 1940 throughout the United States
and Europe. Because of this popularity, silver companies began to grow. During
this craze, companies began to experiment using sterling silver compositions in
jewelry, as it was a material that was easy to mold into intricate designs and
gave a luxurious look with its metallic finish. Today, sterling silver is
widely used in all kinds of jewelry styles and shines as beautifully as other
precious metals, with the benefit of affordable pricing.
Sterling Silver Composition
While
pure silver can be combined with many different types of metals, sterling
silver is created when combining pure silver with copper. Sterling silver
jewelry can be composed with different amounts of copper but is most often 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 should not come into contact with harsh
household chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, or chlorine. To avoid scratches,
store silver in a lined jewelry box or pouch, as it is prone to tarnish as it
naturally reacts with sulfur or hydrogen sulfide in the air. Cleaning and
wearing silver jewelry regularly will prevent this and help maintain its shine.
Immediately upon noticing any discoloration, use a gentle polish made
specifically for removing tarnish- Product Dimensions: 3.9 x 3 x 0.3 inches
