silver is alloyed with other metals to strengthen it. most jewelry is sterling silver which is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, and noted as "925" "STR" or "SS" on the piece. Sometimes the silver mixture is a little more or a little less, depending on the amount of the other metal used in relation to the silver. Jewelry that is 99.9% silver is known as "fine silver

966 does NOT mean it is silver...ONLY 925 is sterling...

the 966 marking is only sliver plate......
