About Sterling Silver Sterling silver is an alloy of silver. 92.5% of sterling silver is pure silver, and the other 7. 5% are other metals (usually copper) that add strength and durability to otherwise soft silver Silver Jewelry Care Most of our jewelry is plated with rhodium to prevent tarnishing and give silver a more expensive, "white gold" look. However, unplated silver will tarnish with time when exposed to air and light. This is natural, and can be easily cleaned with a polishing cloth. Store your sterling silver jewelry in a cool, dry, dark place to avoid faster tarnishing, separately wrapped in a cloth to prevent it from being scratched by other jewelry.
