Silver is one of the finest metals that can be used in jewelry. The purest silver, which is called fine silver, is 999/1000 pure. However, when it comes to silver jewelry, purity is not a good thing. Pure silver is too soft to be used in jewelry. It needs to be mixed with other metals in order to create alloys which are considered more durable. Keeping silver jewelry clean is often considered difficult enough for pieces you frequently wear. However, pieces that are not worn for extended periods of time can corrode and tarnish as well. Thus, sterling silver jewelry storage is a critical component for preventing corrosion and tarnish. By following a few simple rules, you can save yourself hours of cleaning and keep your silver jewelry bright and beautiful for years. The most commonly used silver alloy in jewelry is Sterling silver. This consists of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. When these two elements are combined, these create a mixture that is durable enough for everyday use and at the same time, maintains the desired shine. In some cases, rhodium is incorporated in silver to provide a tarnish-resistant finish.
