copper. Sterling silver jewelry always has the stamp of
sterling silver on it, accompanied at times with the name
of the designer or jewelry manufacturer. The word "sterling"
is the most respected in the jewelry business today. Since
pure silver by itself is too soft, another metal such as
copper is added to it, to give the silver its added stiffness
and other qualities. The resulting mixture which results
is composed of 925 parts pure silver in every 1000 -- this
proportion never varies -- it is fixed by law. This is referred
to as sterling and is often incorrectly called or referred
to as solid silver.
