HOW CAN I TELL IF THIS SILVER IS STERLING?
Sterling silver often bears the mark 925. The number 925 signifies the item is made of an alloy including at least 92.5% silver. The remaining 7.5% is often copper.

European silver can be marked sterling even if it is not made of 92.5% silver. Russian items can be marked sterling when made of 90% silver. German sterling only needs to contain 80% silver.

If you have questions about your silver, stop by for a professional evaluation. We are always glad to look at your items and tell you if they are actually sterling silver.

INTERESTING NOTES ABOUT STERLING
The name sterling may be linked to the old Germanic word “ster” which translated roughly to “strong” or “pure”.

Sterling silver pennies have been around since they were used by Anglo Saxons in about 775 A.D.

The value of sterling is tied to the silver spot price. Antique sterling pieces, decorative items or jewelry may have additional value, of course.
