Types of pure silver

 Gold, silver both are considered as precious metals earlier also and currently also. Especially in India to buy gold and silver ornaments or vessels or any other items is considered to be very auspicious. Therefore, silver is regarded as a sign of personal wealth by the people. It has been put in use to create vessels, flatwares, jewelry, and many more things. 


However, pure silver is a very soft and ductile metal therefore while making any silver object amalgamation is used. Moreover, the same goes with the gold pure gold jewelry, or making any object of pure gold is not possible. Some of the general pure and plated silver is described below in this blog by which you can distinguish between different silver.


  • Fine Silver


Fine silver is the purest silver which is marked as .999 that indicates 99.9% purity of this metal. However, the 0.1% remainder consists of the unearth element which is not significant. Fine silver has more sheer luster than the shining glaze of sterling. Which seems to be smoky and a bit sull. This kind of silver is very soft and will get a dent or scratch and easily change the shape. Therefore, fine silver is not used to make jewelry as you cannot wear jewelry all the time. 


However, there are benefits of fine silver as it is simple to form and does not get oxidized.


  • Sterling silver


It is standard quality silver not only in India but around the world which is a mixture of 92.5% of silver. The remaining 7.5% is the nickel-metal present in it. These different metals in sterling silver are there to make the silver solid and durable for a long time. In the US market, sterling silver is so common and is mainly used in jewelry stores. This silver is very gleaming and sparkling but it will oxidize. And jewelry will be scratched if beaten up. 


  • Argentium Silver


This silver is new in the market having 92.5% silver or a little bit more silver content in it. These alloys cannot be tarnished easily; they require extreme conditions to get tarnished. Moreover, they require less maintenance than sterling. When we talk about the cost Argentium is costlier than sterling silver.


  • Coin Silver


The name ‘Coin Silver’ comes into existence as metalsmith makes the items from melting down the old silver coins. This silver consists of 90% of silver and 10% of copper. Some of the coins are made up of less expensive coins therefore the tag of their quality percentage is there on the coin so you need to check that label on the coin to know its purity. However, some of the coins are antiques.


  • Silver-Plated


When you hear that this jewelry is silver plated it means that it has a coating of silver on it. Little silver is there on that item; it does not contain pure silver on it. However, plated jewelry can easily get tarnished and you will get the metal underneath the silver plating.
