For this reason, in the manufacture of jewelry, it is fused with other materials, usually with copper, thus providing the necessary hardness to be able to work it.a.

The amount of silver a piece has and the amount of copper added differentiates the quality of the object. Thus, we find that the majority of objects are made of 925 silver, that is, 925 thousandths of silver or what is the same, 92.5 of pure silver with 7.5 of copper. This means that if we divide the piece into 1,000 units, we will obtain 925 parts of pure silver and the rest of copper. 925 silver jewelry is considered sterling silver.ley.
