What is sterling silver?

Since its creation, sterling silver has been used in jewelry design by all cultures across the world. Sterling silver contains 92.50% pure silver and is mixed with other alloys such as copper, zinc, or palladium to make it stronger and more durable overall. From a manufacturing perspective, this implies that sterling silver can be worked and re-worked repeatedly without losing its quality at a fast pace, unlike pure silver, which could potentially change shape or become weaker after repeated uses.

What is Vermeil?

Vermeil is a type of gold plating that uses Sterling Silver as the base material. This type of plating is much thicker than regular gold plating, making it more durable and providing a better shine and luster.
