Sterling silver is a white, extremely reflective precious metal composed of 925 parts of pure silver and 75 parts alloy, generally copper. Copper gives the silver with enough resistance and wearing qualities, as pure silver is too flexible to be used or worn every day. Sterling silver is used in a wide variety of jewelry for a good-looking elegant look.
