At the Bead Box we offer you a wide selection of sterling silver: findings, chain, beads and ready-made jewelry.

 

Sterling silver is 92.5% silver. The other 7.5% is usually copper (92.5% is the minimum silver content for an item labeled "silver" in the U.S.).  The addition of copper or other base metal makes sterling silver harder and more prone to tarnishing than fine silver.  Items sold as sterling should be stamped "925",  "sterling" or "ster".

 

Bali Silver is sterling silver, handmade in Bali, characterized by surface granulation and fine detail.

 

Thai silver or Hill Tribe Silver is 95%-98% pure silver, handmade in Thailand. No two pieces are exactly alike. Natural themes, such as flora and fauna, predominate.
