We make all our jewellery exclusively in high quality 925 sterling silver, which is comprised of 92.5% pure silver, alloyed (mixed) with 7.5% other ‘base’ metals, usually copper and never nickel.  Pure silver is relatively soft so the alloy with added base metals ensures sterling silver jewellery is robust enough to wear.
