Our Product Story
|
In its natural state, silver is soft, second only to gold in malleability. To increase its hardness and strength, it is usually alloyed (or fused) with another metal. Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% silver and 7.5% of another metal, usually copper, and is often marked .925. In jewelry, where hardness is not as critical as it is in other applications such as tableware, purer silver may be used. In fact, some jewelry, particularly from Thailand, may be up to 99.9% pure and may be referred to as pure or Thai silver.
Gold is a remarkable, precious metal, with an unparalleled combination of chemical and physical properties. The only yellow metal, its name comes from the Old English word for yellow, 'geolu'. As the only metal that forms no oxide film on its surface in air at normal temperatures means that it will never rust or tarnish.
