What is the difference between Solid Sterling Silver and Sterling Plate?
Sterling silver is a precious metal that is an alloy of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals. These other metals, usually copper, give sterling silver the luster and durability that make it one of the world’s most popular precious metals. A solid sterling piece is nothing but sterling silver, through and through. All Elk Creek Silversmith accessories are made of solid sterling silver.
