What is the difference between sterling silver and alpaca silver?

Alpaca silver is a cheaper alternative to sterling silver. Those allergic to nickel should avoid wearing jewelry made from alpaca. Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% some other metal. That's why it's ofter marked "925," because it is 925 parts silver per 1000 parts. Pure silver is a precious metal and is an element on the periodic table of elements. This means that a piece of sterling silver contains high percentage of real silver atoms. Alpaca silver actually contains no real silver at all. It being called "silver" is due to its intended lookalike quality. Alpaca, also known as "nickel silver," is a mixture of copper and nickel, and sometimes zinc.
