<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andy, post: 25925, member: 645&quot;]The word &quot;Sterling&quot; is the best known and most respected marking in use today. Pure silver alone is too soft for everyday use. Copper is the metal commonly used to give &quot;Sterling&quot; its added stiffness and wearing qualities. Sterling is often referred to as solid silver. It is composed of 925 parts pure silver in every 1000 -- this proportion never varies -- it is fixed by law. Gee I thought everybody learned this at finishing school.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
