What is sterling silver? Since its creation, sterling silver has been used in jewelry design by all cultures across the world. Sterling silver contains 92. 50% pure silver and is mixed with other alloys such as copper, zinc, or palladium to make it stronger and more durable overall. From a manufacturing perspective, this implies that sterling silver can be worked and re-worked repeatedly without losing its quality at a fast pace, unlike pure silver, which could potentially change shape or become weaker after repeated uses. Made in: United States of America.
