Silver jewelry is the "other white metal". Full of fashion and history, this precious metal has been around for a very long time. Durable and elegant, silver has been the choice of many kings and queens for hundreds of years. First mentioned historically in 1078, and used for trade up until the late 20th century when governments decided it was too valuable to continue producing as coin currency. Silver Jewelry is usually 92.5% pure and mixed with other metals to create a more durable product that pure silver cannot provide alone. Generally, in silver jewelry, copper is the metal of choice to give it strength.
