Silver has
been known and used for thousands of years
and was believed to have magical properties
which could promote healing and bring good
luck. In ancient times, silver was used for
jewelry, ornaments, utensils, and as a substance
that could be bartered for other goods and
services. This belief that silver had an underlying
"value" led eventually to its use
as the basis for monetary systems such as
that of the Roman Empire and as a means of
paying for international trade.
Silver is the most reflective and affordable
of the precious metals. Its lower price permits
bold, innovative looks. Sterling silver jewelry
is often fashioned by top designers and can
range in price from hundreds to thousands
of dollars. Sterling silver is the standard
of quality for jewelry containing 92.5% silver
and 7.5% copper.
