Questions About Museum Quality Silver
- What is the best quality silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The best quality silver is 999 silver. This is the closest you'll get to pure silver because it is technically 99.9% pure silver. This is the highest quality silver that can be purchased. Shop vintage, antique and contemporary silver jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Sterling silver is a very good quality alloy because the added metals make it very durable, even more so than gold. Because it is also lightweight it can be great for everyday wear.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Yes, Mexican silver is generally considered to be of good quality. Most Mexican silver is 925 sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% base metal. Sterling silver has a visually appealing color and luster and resists scratching and tarnishing. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of Mexican silver jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024What the highest-quality silver necklace is depends on your definition of "high quality." If you mean the type that is the most pure, fine .999 silver is the answer. It is 99.9% pure silver, with the tiny remainder of its contents coming from trace elements. On the other hand, if you define quality by durability and longevity, .925 sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy metal, may be a better option. Fine .999 silver is soft and more reactive, making it more vulnerable to tarnishing and scratching than .925 sterling. Explore a diverse assortment of silver necklaces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Sterling silver is a great quality material for rings given its durability and beauty. Because of the addition of copper, pure silver is too soft for an everyday ring, but because sterling silver is alloyed with copper, it is a stronger material and makes a great choice for everyday use in a wedding or engagement ring.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not 925 sterling silver is good quality is largely a matter of personal opinion. Sterling with this mark is 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper or another metal. The addition of the alloy metal helps prevent tarnishing. Shop a variety of sterling silver jewelry, decorative objects and serveware on 1stDibs.
