Silver

Silver is a remarkable and exceptional metal. It has many uses other than jewellery. Pure silver is usually considered too soft for jewellery purposes so it is alloyed with small quantities of copper. Sterling Silver is considered the standard for silver jewellery and has been used since the 14th century. Sterling Silver (STG SIL) is made up of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper.

The small percentage of copper hardens the silver sufficiently to make it suitable for jewellery

Silver is the most reflective metal, however it does tarnish due to sulphur and other oxidants in the air and on our skin. To remove the tarnish the simple use of a special Silver Cloth is all that is required to renew the brilliance and shine. Our jewellery cleaning products are located here.
