Sterling silver is considered hypoallergenic. Sterling silver is a silver alloy. It is made when pure silver is mixed with copper. While sterling silver is not as soft as pure silver, it is much more durable.
Sterling silver is generally 92.5% pure. That means only 7.5% of the mixture is another metal, generally copper.
Sterling Silver is much less likely to cause an allergic reaction than nickel or brass, which means you can wear pieces of sterling silver jewelry without risk of infection or irritation. This quality is especially important when wearing accessories like earrings, which remain in constant contact with the skin.
Do you have silverware gathering dust in a drawer that you never use, because the time never seems right to use, or you don’t want to split it up between your children, or no one in the family really wants it?
Now you can have beautiful custom jewelry made from your family’s heirloom silverware that can be passed down for generations along with the family lore as to how the silverware initially found its way into the family.
