Muntsilwer was eens 'n meer algemene legering in die Verenigde State. Dit is nou redelik skaars en die naam veroorsaak nogal verwarring.

Non-tarnish alloys are fairly new to the market. Argentium is one brand but there are others available that are similar. These alloys are a minimum of 92.5% silver though some will be slightly higher in silver content. The remainder consists of copper and the addition of the element germanium. The germanium makes the alloy […]
Sterling is the jewelry quality standard in the United States and most world markets. Dit is 'n allooi van 92.5% silwer. Die oorblywende 7.5% is usually copper though it is sometimes other metals such as nickel. The other metals in the alloy increase hardness so the material will be more durable. Alloy additions also […]
1. Goed .999 Silver Fine silver is the closest metal to the pure element silver. It is marked .999 wat aandui 99.9% suiwerheid. Die 0.1% remainder consists of trace elements of insignificant quantity. Fine silver has a more vitreous luster than the bright polish of sterling. It appears grayer and slightly dull. This type […]
The reason sterling silver requires the mixture of other metals is because naturally, Suiwer silwer is sag. Adding other metals to the silver increases the hardness, making it more suitable and durable for use in jewelry and housewares like silverware. The result of this process also produces that signature silver color: helder, shiny and […]

Dit is omdat enige lugblootstelling werklike sterling silwer laat oksideer. Dit veroorsaak dat hulle mettertyd agteruitgaan, and the reason why […]
You could imagine very easily that if there’s a 20% price jump from a 0.99ct diamond to a 1.00ct diamond, the cutter who loses that 0.01ct trying to make a prettier stone will lose his job. Perhaps with the nicer cut it will only be worth 15% less instead of 20%, but either way, […]
I stress categories, because you might mistakenly believe that prices per carat increase continuously as weight is increased, but this is not the case. Since diamonds are a retail product driven more by emotion than reason, a 0.99ct diamond is worth only about 1% more than a similar diamond weighing 0.98ct. But a 1.00ct […]
Diamonds are all priced per carat. Lets say a 0.50 carat diamond has a price of $1400 per carat. That diamond’s price for the stone would be $1400 * 0.50, of $700. Of, let’s say that a 1 carat diamond has a price of $4,100 per carat. This one is easy to calculate — […]
