Silver Purity

Silver is almost as soft as gold in its purest (99.9% pure) form. This is the reason that silver is alloyed with copper to provide strength to the former. Unlike the gold ornaments, one will not find the karat-age written over the silver ornaments because, legally, silver or sterling silver is 92.5% pure.

 

Most of the silver jewelry manufactured nowadays has a 925 stamp to authenticate its purity. However, there is nothing like worrying about the purity of silver. Gold can be contaminated, but the chances of contamination in silver are very rare and almost none.
