Mexican silver, also known as sterling silver, typically has a purity of 92.5%, meaning it is composed of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This standard is designated by the term "925" stamped on silver items. Pure silver is too soft for most practical uses, so the addition of other metals enhances its durability while maintaining its luster.
