Stackable Sterling Silver rings! Sterling silver originated in 12th-century England<\/mark> when silversmiths began alloying pure silver with copper to improve its durability. In 1300, King Edward I legally enshrined the 925 standard<\/strong> (92.5% silver and 7.5% copper) to regulate coinage and wares, a formulation still used today<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pure silver (often called fine silver, or 99.9% pure) is highly radiant but too soft to withstand daily wear. In 1300, King Edward I mandated that all items sold as silver must match the purity of the King\u2019s coins, officially setting the legal threshold to 11 troy ounces and 2 pennyweights of silver per 1 troy pound. This exact ratio translates to the 92.5% purity. The addition of copper not only strengthened the metal but also made it easier to form into intricate, scratch-resistant designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
