Pure silver, which is also known as fine silver, is soft, very flexible, and easily damaged so it is commonly combined with other metals to produce a more durable product, which leads to sterling silver. It is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by mass of silver and 7.5% by mass of other metals, usually copper. Sterling silver is most often used for jewelry because of its combination of attractiveness and durability. Acceptable quality marks for sterling silver include: sterling, ster and .925.
