Sterling silver has a rich history, with experts believing that the silver alloy originated in continental Europe in the 12th century. Pure silver was found to be a soft and easily damageable material, but when combined with other metals, most commonly copper, it produced a tougher material that could be heavily relied on. Throughout the next few centuries, sterling silver was used as currency and for household items, often as silverware, becoming the material used in a proper table setting between 1840 and 1940 throughout the United States and Europe.

The popularity of sterling silver during this period led to the growth of silver companies, and they began to experiment using the material in jewelry, as it was easy to mold into intricate designs and gave a luxurious look with its metallic finish. Today, sterling silver is widely used in all kinds of jewelry styles and shines as beautifully as other precious metals, with the benefit of affordable pricing.

Sterling silver is created by combining pure silver with copper, with the most common composition being 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper, known as the .925 stamp. This combination has been found to be a good balance for maintaining the silver's durability without harming its sparkle.

To care for sterling silver jewelry, it should be stored in a lined jewelry box or pouch to avoid scratches, as it is prone to tarnishing due to its natural reaction with sulfur or hydrogen sulfide in the air. Regular cleaning and wearing of the jewelry will help prevent tarnish, and a gentle polish made specifically for removing tarnish should be used immediately upon noticing any discoloration.
