By definition and international agreement “sterling” silver is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% some other material – usually copper. Have you ever seen pure silver after a few years in the open air? Silver tends to oxidize (tarnish) quickly, leaving it a nasty brown color. The 7.5% copper or other metals used to make sterling silver slow down the tarnishing process. Also pure silver is a very soft metal. It can bend or break easily. Adding another, more durable, metal to the mix ensures that your silver jewelry will last a lot longer, and look a lot nicer down the road. So really, sterling silver – although not pure – is usually the better option when choosing jewelry.
