Silver

 Silver has been used for thousands of years in the manufacture of jewelery And was once considered more valuable than gold !!!! Today it is the most accessible of precious metals. Silver like gold is mixed with copper or some other metal to make it harder. Although it is very difficult to find pure silver jewelry they will wear out very quickly.

 Silver can be shades of bright white to grayish white and usually the jewelry has a matte or glossy finish. The ancients called the silver metal of the moon - cool and bright like the moon's reflection in the water. Silver is mainly exported to Australia, Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, Poland and Canada.

 Purity

 Like gold, pure silver is very soft to be used in jewelry so it is combined with other metals such as copper to enhance its hardness. Silver must contain at least 90 2.5% pure silver for it is sealed to 925.

 Care

 Silver oxidizes So store your silver jewelry in airtight plastic bags in cool, dry places. Do not use absorbent paper or napkins to dry them as they may scratch silver. Usually good jewelery labels silver jewelry or utensils make them platinum so they do not tan (common in Chinese and Turkish cheap jewelry for cost reasons not to platinum but nickel)

 Alternative metals
