Introduction
The splendor of silver of silver has captivated the human mind since ages. No one even knows when and how the metal was discovered and came into use. Historical accounts from almost all countries of the have references to the use of silver. The tradition of the silver anniversary is traced to Germany where it was customary to present a silver wreath to a woman after 25 years of marriage. Throughout the ages this mystical white metal has been used to mark historical milestones, celebrations, achievements and special occasions. A silver spoon has symbolized great fortune and privilege since the 17th century. The tradition of the “silver anniversary” dates back to Germany where it was customary to present a silver wreath to a woman after 25 years of marriage.
By definition, Silver is an element that occurs naturally in the earth and is generally considered too soft in its pure form for practical use in jewelry, giftware or flatware. An alloy such as copper is usually added to make silver workable for jewelry.
Silver in pure form also called fine silver, is relatively soft, very malleable, and easily damaged so it is commonly combined with other metals to produce a more durable and workable product. The most popular of these alloys is sterling silver, which is 92.5 percent (925 parts) pure silver and 7.5 percent (75 parts) alloy metal.
Although any metal can make up the 7.5 percent non-silver portion of sterling, years of experiences of silversmiths tell us that copper is the best choice. It helps in improving the metal’s hardness and durability without affecting its beautiful color.
The small amount of copper added to sterling does not affect the value of the metal. The price of the silver item is actually affected by the labor involved in making the item, the skill of the craftsperson, and the intricacy of the design.
Nowadays, sterling silver is a favorite choice in mediums among the most creative and innovative designers. Due to its affordability and malleability – it can be shaped into almost any form imaginable. Sterling is the primary material used for silver jewelry, giftware, hollowware and flatware. A gift of silver is a touching and lasting expression of affection, friendship, celebration, congratulation or thanks. It is a very special way of saying that you care.
Throughout history silver has been referred to as the Queen of Metals and has been widely used for jewelry. Sterling silver is always an appropriate gift to commemorate an important event in a woman’s life and to tell her that she means the world to you.
Sterling gifts might also include artful objects for the home, those related to a hobby or career, or simple fun indulgences. Such novelty items as a make-up brush, silver bracelet or purse mirror make a great gift for any woman. Other ideas include an engraved heart-shaped pillbox to tuck into a purse or dangle from a silver chain, or a sterling egg timer for the chef who marvels in a well accessorized kitchen.
