Composed of 93% solid sterling silver and a 7% metal alloy of copper and zinc, silver is very malleable and shines brightly after polishing. Silver is mainly used for jewelry such as rings, cufflinks, bracelets, pendants, and earrings, and is available in five different finishes: gloss, high-gloss, satin, sandblasting, and antique silver.
