Sterling silver necklaces are made of about 93% silver mixed with other substances. You may be wondering why it is not 100% pure silver - the reason behind this is that silver alone is not durable to be molded into necklaces and other forms of jewelries. Metal such as copper, nickel or platinum should be added in order to make it hard enough. You have to be aware that nickel can cause allergies. You have to make sure that you do not have reactions to this type of metal when you are purchasing jewelry.

You may be worried that sterling silver can easily tarnish. This is caused by the copper component of your jewelry. If you want to make sure that your silver jewelry will not tarnish, you can let the jewelry shop apply an additional coat of metal to the surface of the necklace. You should also wipe it with tarnish-prevention cloth before keeping it. It is also recommended that you line your jewelry box with this special type of cloth to prevent gas and moist from affecting your piece. You can also opt to buy silver necklaces of different combination such as platinum sterling or nickel sterling.
