ABOUT FINE SILVER

 
Fine silver is silver in its purest available form.   Unlike sterling, which is only 92.5% silver, fine silver is 99.9% pure silver!
Because of its purity, pieces made of fine silver are more tarnish-resistant than those made of sterling (much of sterling’s tarnishing is due to copper and other alloys added to increase the metal’s hardness).
Fine silver is softer, lighter, and less dense than sterling, and is therefore more delicate.  Please handle with care.
