New York, NY (prHWY.com) November 1, 2012 - Silver in its pure form cannot be used in anything since it is a very soft metal just like gold. To give silver strength it is mixed with other heavier metals like copper. A standard of such silver is called sterling silver. Sterling Silver contains 92.5 percent of silver by mass hence it is also known as 925 standard silver. This is the kind of silver you see in jewelry, vases, utensils etc. Usually Copper is used to mix with silver but germanium, platinum and zinc can also be used for the same purpose. A new metal called Argentium sterling silver has also introduced in the market. This has some other features like better resistance to tarnish.

This metal evolved out of Germany in the 12th century and then propagated to rest of the world. It was used to make jewelry, spoons, forks and containers initially. Every genuine piece bears the hallmark "925" to signify the purity of metal used in the alloy. This sometimes also signifies the company that produced it. This standard is followed across the globe as a mark of authenticity. Silver is also used widely in medicine as it acts as an external disinfectant. IT is also used in musical instruments since it has a very distinctive tone to it.
