Sterling Silver Wedding Gifts
Sterling silver is not pure silver. That’s actually a good thing since pure or fine (99.9%) silver is too soft to produce any useful object. Sterling silver is an alloy which contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% of another metal, usally copper.
Like gold, sterling silver is a precious metal and is, therefore, highly treasured. The color silver is considered cool in comparison to gold’s hot color. Silver expresses charm and elegance.
When considering sterling silver as a wedding gift, there are many possibilities. First, you may consider sterling silver jewelry. Silver bracelets, necklaces, earrings and pendants are great gifts because they can be used over and over again.
Another well-received wedding gift is sterling silver flatware. Such a gift is less common today than in days gone by when large flatware sets in ornate boxes were given as gifts. These were handed down from generation to generation as expensive heirlooms.
