Difference between Sterling silver and Silver-plated
Sterling silver is a metal used in the creation of jewelry, flatware and other common items. Because genuine silver is too soft to be used alone, it is typically mixed with other more durable metals, such as nickel and copper. For an item to qualify as real sterling silver, it must be at least .925 pure silver; only 0.075 may consist of non-silver metals. Sometimes an item may have an overlay of genuine silver on top of another metal. This is called silver plating and is not considered sterling silver. Silver plating can be worn away with use, revealing the lesser-quality metal underneath.
