Cool and elegant, silver is the whitest and most reflective precious metal. The ancient Incas called it “the tears of the moon”. Silver also has natural antibacterial properties: babies are given silver spoons to keep them healthy. Sterling silver is a combination of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper that’s named after the British Pound Sterling. To keep your silver shining, polish away the dark oxide that forms on its surface over time.
