Silver sterling
The pure silver to the 100% is relatively smooth,
very malleable and easily detrimental, therefore the silver
habitually is made up with other metals to produce a more lasting
product. Most popular of these alloys it is the sterling silver,
that is made up to 92.5% of silver and 7.5% of copper. Although any
metal can form the portion of 7.5%, the centuries of experimentation
showed that the copper is its better comrade, improving therefore
the hardness of the metal and the durability without affecting its
pretty color.
