Sterling silver is an alloy consisting of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This makes the jewelry stronger and more durable than pure silver, while retaining the beautiful shine and luster that silver is known for.
One of the great advantages of sterling silver is that it is relatively easy to care for and maintain its shine. A simple cleaning with a soft cloth and some silver polish is usually all that is needed to make the jewelry look like new again.
