Vintage Sterling
Posted in Watches on 05/17/2009 02:31 am by adminwhat is the difference between sterling silver and silver?
does the former have more of a metal look to it whil the later has a more vintage/refined look to it?
thanks!
The difference is not actually that big.
The Pure silver will not tarnish but the Sterling silver will, And the Sterling silver will often be shinier then the pure because it is polished. But the sterling is more durable and will hold it's shape for longer as for pure silver which is more soft and can get dents in it.
Look at this website there's a whole lot of information about it:
