Silver FAQ
Items like jewellery or silverware are made in sterling silver, and contain 92.5 % silver and 7.5 % alloy (copper or zinc), to make them more durable. These include jewellery, silverware, plates, platters or coffee sets.
In comparison, fine silver is pure and does not contain any other metal. So the difference is that sterling silver is 92.5 % pure while fine silver is 99.9 % pure
There are multiple ways to assess if a silverware is real or not.
The best way to assess if a silver spoon or a piece of cutlery is made of sterling silver is to give it a little flex. If it bends easily, it is made of one piece solid 925 silver. In the contrary, if it is very rigid, it is likely to be silver plated.
Come to our office with your silverware and get it assessed by a professional, without damaging it.
