Sterling silver is a metal alloy made of pure silver mixed with other metals, usually copper or zinc. We combine pure silver with these metals to make it more durable for use in jewellery making. Many of our silver jewellery pieces use sterling silver, including our earrings, studs and fine chain necklaces, because it has a bright and shiny finish, and tends to be comfortable for most people to wear on a daily basis.
