1. True or False? The origin of the symbol Ag comes from the
Greek word "argentum"
meaning "silver". False – it’s
Latin…sorry about that.
2. True or false?
Silver is a naturally soft metal and must be mixed with other metals to create
an alloy. That’s true!
3. True or false? For
jewelry to be labeled sterling silver, it must contain 100% pure silver. False
- Sterling silver is 92.5 % silver and 7.5 % copper. Genuine sterling silver
jewelry will be marked with a 925, .925, 92.5 or “Ster.”

4. True or false? Pure silver is highly tarnish resistant,
but too soft for use in jewelry. That’s true!
A silversmith commonly combines it with other metals like copper, to
harden it. It is then durable when worn. While sterling silver can tarnish or darken, you can return silver to its
natural finish with proper care and cleaning.
5. True or false?
Sterling silver can only be purchased in a highly polished finish. False – Silver is a versatile metal and may
be finished in matte, brushed, satin, sandblasted, oxidized and antiqued as
well. |
