The Different Types of Silver to Consider When Buying Silver Jewellery

FEMININE FANTASY' NECKPIECE (WHITE)

The market today is awash with different types of silver jewellery which also come in different prices. In order to successfully pick the quality of jewellery that you need, you have to understand the various types of silver and their quality standards. One thing you have to bear in mind is that the silver used in making most of the jewellery is an alloy and not a single metal.  

ARTFUL SOUL' NECKPIECE (PINK)

Costume jewellery sold in reputable stores online such as goguava.com comes with quality stamps which indicate their authenticity and originality. At times these stamps are tiny and you have to be careful not to miss them out.

Fine Silver

This silver metal which is indicated as 99.9 percent pure is the closest to pure silver. It has a grayish and dull appearance that gives a more vitreous luster when compared to bright polish of sterling. Because of its malleability and easiness with which it fuses with solder, fine silver is used in jewellery. This silver is also highly resistant to tarnish and maintains its glitter for a long time.

Sterling Silver

This metal is commonly used in jewellery and is regarded as the quality standard in most world markets. It is an alloy consisting of 92.5 percent silver and the remaining 7.5 percent can either be copper or nickel. The role of the other metals added is to enhance the hardness of the silver making the jewellery durable as well as lustrous. Guava silver jewellery mainly comes in this type of silver. It is easy to clean with most available polishing products. 

Silver Plated

This refers to a base metal with a thin plating layer of silver that is applied to its surface. The beauty with silver plated costume jewellery is that it is affordable and readily available in most stores. Most silver plated ornaments have a manufacturer’s logo or hallmark. 

Other types of silver you may want to consider when shopping for silver jewellery include nickel silver, Tibetan silver, Mexican silver and coin silver.
