Sterling Silver Earrings

All Sterling Silver Earrings are 925 Grade

STERLING SILVER: An English term for the alloy of 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% copper or base metal alloy. Originally based on English coinage and used only in the British Isles, this standard has, over time, become the predominant silver standard used around the world. The word "Sterling" is the best known and most respected marking in use today. Pure silver alone is too soft for everyday use. Copper is the metal commonly used to give "Sterling" its added stiffness and wearing qualities. Sterling is often referred to as solid silver. It is composed of 925 parts pure silver in every 1000 -- this proportion never varies -- it is fixed by law.
