Sterling Silver History Experts believe that silver alloy originated in Europe in the 12th century. Pure silver was found to be a soft and easily damageable material. When combined with other metals, it produced a tougher material that could be heavily relied on. Throughout the next centuries, sterling silver was used as currency, for household items. It was often used as silverware and became the material used in a proper table setting between 1840 and 1940 throughout the U.S. and Europe. During this craze, companies began to experiment using sterling silver in jewelry, as it was easy to mold into intricate designs and gave a luxurious look with its metallic finish. Today, sterling silver is widely used in all kinds of jewelry styles and shines as beautifully as other precious metals, with the benefit of affordable pricing. Sterling Silver Composition While pure silver can be combined with many different types of metals, sterling silver is created when combining pure silver with copper. Sterling silver jewelry can be composed with different amounts of copper but is most often seen with the .925 stamp, meaning that the composition is of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. This has been found to be a good combination for maintaining the silver's durability without harming its sparkle.
