Wholesale Sterling Silver Jewelry

Wholesale Sterling Silver Jewelry is a beautiful and affordable addition to anyone’s jewelry collection.

Beautiful sterling silver jewelry is great for any occasion -- whether it's for a casual day with friends or dressing up for a romantic Valentine's Day date. Sterling silver can color things up with gemstone jewelry that uses a collection of topaz, amethyst, citrine, peridot or garnet stones. Sterling silver has had a long history and sterling silver jewelry is in fashion again. 

Silver has been used ever since people discovered its versatility centuries ago. The term "Sterling Silver", in reference to the .925 grade of silver, emerged in England by the 13th century. King Henry II set about to adopt the alloy as the standard for English currency. He imported metal refiners from the Easterling and put them to work making silver coins for England. The silver these refiners produced came into usage as currency by 1158 in the form of what are now known as "Tealby Pennies", and was eventually adopted as a standard alloy throughout England. The original term of "Easterling Silver" was later abbreviated to "Sterling Silver".

Sterling silver is no longer used in circulating currency anywhere in the world. It is still used for flatware, jewelry and plate, and is a grade of silver with a relatively high purity and sufficient hardness to form durable objects in daily use.

A sterling silver object that is to be sold commercially is, in many countries, taken to an Assay office for testing of the purity of the metal. The item is then marked, usually via hammer and punch, with the Hallmark of that particular nation.  In some countries, such as the United States, no national hallmark was ever adopted.  Because of this, some companies within the U.S., such as Tiffany and Gorham, adopted their own marking systems.

Fine silver (99.9% pure) is generally too soft for producing large functional objects, and in Sterling, the silver is usually alloyed with copper to give strength whilst preserving the ductility of the silver and a high precious metal content.

As the purity of the silver decreases, the problem of corrosion or tarnishing also increases. Chemically, silver is not very reactive — it does not react with oxygen or water at ordinary temperatures, so does not easily form a silver oxide. However, the other metal in the alloy, usually copper, may react with oxygen in the air producing the tarnished look often seen in silver dinnerware or antique pieces. Be sure to give priority to your sterling silver jewelry care in order to prolong the life of the pieces and maintain their beautiful luster
