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. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper which makes the silver harder, more durable and much better to work with and use, without compromising on color. Antique and vintage silver pieces are common in India, especially among rural and tribal populations.
