Many older cultures use it as a form of currency and that practice continues today in some areas.
One of the earliest references to it occurs in the Old Testament of the Bible. Today, most silver jewelry in the West is sterling silver.
Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver mixed usually with copper for the remaining 7.5%.
Due to its lower costs, many jewelers work all of their pieces first and silver before going on to gold or platinum.
The designs available in silver are as plentiful, if not more, than other metals. The lower cost makes it the metal of choice for some jewelry artists.
The surface can have an outer layer of gold or rhodium added to make it another color. You can find the perfect piece in our collection today.
