Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is an alloy made up of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This combination gives sterling silver several advantages:
- The added metals make sterling silver stronger and more durable than pure silver, making it ideal for everyday wear.
- Sterling silver is more affordable than fine silver, making it a popular choice for both artisans and customers.
Fine Silver (.999)
- The high purity level means fine silver is hypoallergenic and less likely to cause skin reactions, which is ideal for people with sensitive skin.
- While this makes it easier to work with, it also means fine silver is more prone to scratches and dents, making it less suitable for pieces that will experience heavy wear.
- Fine silver has a brighter, whiter appearance compared to sterling silver, which some people prefer for its pure and luxurious look.
