Sterling Silver
Prized for its white colour, silver is a malleable metal that has been used to create ornaments, jewellery and as a means of payment for millennia.
Pure silver, which occurs naturally with other metals or in various sulfated ores, is relatively soft and is commonly combined with other metals to produce a more
durable product.
We use Sterling silver to make our silver jewellery, an alloy which is 92.5% pure
silver and 7.5% copper. The copper is chosen because it improves the metal’s
durability without affecting its light weight and neutral colour.
