STERLING SILVER jon ber 
100% silver is too soft for the creation of jewelry & silverware. Thus the international industry standards is 92.5 percent silver with 7.5 % balance added copper.   Sterling, also the official name the English currency, or the English Pound, is accepted as the definition for the "best" silver there is. 

But the practice of diluting silver was common just about everywhere in the world for thousands of years. The formula is now benign tested on occasion by the authorities in the countries that export silver made product as not to hurt their reputation. and avoid scandals, of the sort that hit Bangkok, Thailand, just as its silver jewelry exports flourished in the early  1990s.
 One of the better known local manufacture wad accused of shaving few extra silver percentages  from his "Sterling" mix. By that time thousands of small time traders like myself, were coming over to buy silver made products merchandise in the Kingdom of Siam. 
At that time, scrupulous silver dealers in Jaipur India, were using even worse practices to compete in the a cut throat industry: The replacement of Copper with the cheaper Zinc. It turned silver to yellow permanently. 
In some European countries, such as Austria, all imported silver jewelry  is checked by customs laboratory. In Switzerland,  importers must mark their own  stamp on every silver jewelry item.
 
Coming soon: Here soon: My  silver test in India. Swiss German became my favorite accent to imitate. Especially the one dialect from Schaffhausen

About me
Open window in the last years of the second millennium provided opportunity to cross borders between continents and countries like never before. Proprietors of privileged passport, of the sort I have just been granted with, were welcome everywhere.

 
”A gem of a singer/songwriter has come to us in the form of Jon Ber.  His work puts us in mind of such greats as Leonard Cohen or Nick Drake. Simple tools, words and strings. Nothing at all simple in using them to their utmost."  starlightstudios.net
