Most silver jewelry is sterling silver, an alloy of silver which is more suitable to use for jewelry and other metalwork. Fine silver is 99.9% pure silver that is generally too soft and malleable for making most silver jewelry.

Antique and vintage silver pieces are common in India, especially among rural and tribal populations.
