Pure Silver Jewelry

Pure silver has a brilliant metallic white luster. It is a little harder than gold and is very ductile and malleable, being exceeded only by gold and perhaps palladium. Fine or pure silver, which is at its natural state 99.9% pure, is quite soft, which makes it less suitable to craft any kind of object from it. This is why it is alloyed with certain elements like copper for making ornaments and other crafts. Sterling silver is the most prominent example of alloyed silver, which is considered pure, and contains 92.5% silver (7.5% copper or other metal). Anyway, pure silver has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all metals and possesses the lowest contact resistance.

Despite its delicate nature, the jewelry made from pure silver has a good demand. This is because of the natural sheen of this jewelry, and also it is considered superior than sterling silver jewelry by many people. Jewelry made from pure silver is stable in air and water, but tarnishes when exposed to ozone, hydrogen sulfide, or air containing sulfur.

Bespeaking elegance and sophistication, silver work on pure silver includes armlets, anklets, bangles, chokers, necklaces, bead necklace, chain necklace, bracelets, earrings, tops, pendants, rings, toe rings, hair clips, brooches and jewelry set. Other products crafted out of pure silver are ecclesiastical and domestic plate, flatware, jewelry, buttons, buckles, boxes, toilet articles, weapons, furniture, and horse trappings.
