Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is a precious metal that is 92.5% pure silver (thus the shorthand ‘925’ used to indicate it in the jewelry industry) alloyed with another metal, usually copper. It has been popular for use in jewelry for thousands of years. It is also widely used in housewares, decor, and electrical components, among other things.
Despite being a precious metal, silver is more common and exponentially less expensive than gold, platinum, and other precious metals. This has made it a popular ring material for couples getting married on a tighter budget.
