Reasons for Purchasing Sterling Sliver Jewelries

Pure silver, is relatively soft, so silver is usually alloyed with copper to increase its hardness and strength. It is usually called sterling silver. Experiments show that the small amount of copper added to sterling has very little effect on the metal's value. Instead, the price of the silver item is affected by the labor involved in making the item, the skill of the craftsperson, and the intricacy of the design.

Some people have linked silver to luxury for decades -- the phrase "silver spoon" is associated with wealth for a reason. Other people regard sterling silver as a cheap alternative to white gold. In fact, sterling silver is used in every type of jewelry imaginable to create looks that can be both timeless and trendy.
