ABOUT STERLING SILVER 

Sterling silver is what's known as a metal alloy. This means that sterling silver is a combination of metals instead of just one single metal (like with pure silver, for example).

Sterling silver is 92.5% silver and 7.5% alloy. This 7.5% is usually made of copper or zinc.

There are a few benefits to sterling silver that might push you to purchase sterling silver items over fine silver.

• The first most obvious would be the cost. Fine silver has a higher purity percentage of silver, which will make it more expensive compared to the less pure sterling silver. However, sterling silver still looks just as good as fine silver, which means you can get affordable, timeless pieces for a lower price.
• There's also the durability factor. Sterling silver is much more durable compared to fine silver because of the added metal alloys. This can help your piece last and stay looking the best it possibly can for longer.
• Sterling silver is easier to shape than the soft and malleable fine silver, so you'll be able to find more options made of sterling silver vs silver.
  
  

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR PURE SILVER AND STERLING SILVER ITEMS?

You can make both pure silver and sterling silver items last a lot longer by taking a few simple precautions.

For pure silver, you need to be extra careful with it. Since it isn't very durable and it's soft, you need to make sure not to overuse fine silver items or use them too roughly.

For both pure and sterling silver, store it in a dark place away from air and water exposure. You can also clean your silver items with anti-tarnish liquids and a soft cloth.
