Sine ancient time, silver has been made of jewelry; the pure silver is known as fine silver, so it is relatively soft and malleable.
Sometimes, in order to increase silver’s hardness, we often add the electrum in it, electrum is an amber-colored alloy of gold and silver, and usually it was used in ancient times for coins, cups & other table wears.
About the composition of sterling silver, it is an alloy of 92.5% and 7.5% copper. Because copper is the best alloy for silver as it improves the metal's hardness, but it doesn’t affect its color and shine.
Nowadays, it is the standard for fashionable, beautiful and high-quality silver jewelry. Because it has over 90% pure silver, and mixed with alloys to add strength and durability, it won't wear down
