About Sterling Silver Jewelry
History
Experts believe that silver alloy, used today as sterling silver, originated in continental Europe in the 12th century. Pure silver was found to be a soft and easily damageable material. When combined with other metals, most commonly cooper; it produced a tougher material that could be heavily relied on. Throughout the next few centuries, sterling silver was used as currency and household items. It was often used as silverware and became the material used in a proper table setting between 1840 and 1940 throughout the United States and Europe. Because of this popularity, silver companies began to grown. During this craze, companies began to experiment using sterling silver compositions in jewelry as it was a material that 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 Composition
While pure silver can be combined with many different types of metals, sterling silver is created when combining pure silver with copper. Sterling silver jewelry can be composed with different amounts of copper but is most often seen with the .925 stamp, meaning that the composition is of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. This has been found to be a good combination for maintaining the silver's durability without harming its sparkle.
Caring For Your Sterling Silver Jewelry
Silver should not come into contact with harsh household chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, or chlorine. To avoid scratches, store silver in a lined jewelry box or pouch, as it is prone to tarnish as it naturally reacts with sulfur or hydrogen sulfide in the air. Cleaning and wearing silver jewelry regularly will prevent this and help maintain its shine. Immediately upon noticing any discoloration, use a gentle polish made specifically for removing tarnish.

Mizpah birthday gift,

This review is from: Sterling Silver and Stainless Steel Mizpah Medal, 20" and 24" (Jewelry)
My husband is in the Army and I sent this to him as a birthday gift and a reminder that when we are apart, my heart is only half - he has the other half. He loved it so much he cried... but don't tell him I told you that. He's supposed to be a big tough guy!

This review is from: Sterling Silver and Stainless Steel Mizpah Medal, 20" and 24" (Jewelry)
This medal is just perfect. I purchased this item as a gift for my boyfriend (and myself ;)) who was going away to a different college than I was. We wear them every day. The photo really does not do it justice. It is beautiful - very detailed and shiny. Much better than I expected.
Great piece of high quality jewelry. My absolute best goes out to all long distance couples. Take care.

Beautiful & Biblical,
By Sandra H. Rosser (Fayetteville, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sterling Silver and Stainless Steel Mizpah Medal, 20" and 24" (Jewelry)
This is a beautiful symbol of loyalty and love. I purchased this for my husband for several reasons: he is a law enforcement officer; we have just weathered our first year of opening and owning a business together, and because we have nearly 25 years of a wonderful marriage together. As noted in another review, it does read, "separated one from another." It is NOT a mistake. It is biblical(from Genesis 31:49).
