About Our Plain Silver Rings

Most of our plain silver rings are sterling silver. Sterling silver is an alloy of silver and is commonly stamped .925.  This number refers to the percentage of silver in the alloy-.925 = 92.5% of the alloy is of silver while the remaining 7.5% is of other metals (usually copper).  Silver is naturally a very soft metal so to stabilize it and make it more durable the .925 sterling silver alloy was created.  One of the earliest places known to use sterling silver was in medieval Europe in the 1100’s. 

Even earlier use of silver and or a sterling silver alloy has been recorded.  Medical instruments of silver have been found in ancient Egypt.  Silver is a natural aseptic and was regarded for its malleability-allowing it to be shaped into just the right form, making it the perfect material for making medical instruments. Other uses of sterling silver over the years include flatware, dinnerware, art, and as is popular today, jewelry!
