Fine Silver vs. Sterling Silver
Many of my pieces combine both fine silver and sterling silver — each chosen intentionally for its unique qualities.
Fine Silver (99.9% pure silver)
Fine silver contains more pure silver than sterling, giving it a slightly brighter, softer white tone. Because it has no added alloys, it is more resistant to tarnishing and beautifully captures intricate natural textures — like the delicate veins of a real oak leaf.
This is why I use fine silver for my botanical impressions. It allows every detail of the leaf to remain crisp and luminous.
Sterling Silver (92.5% silver)
Sterling silver contains a small percentage of strengthening metals (typically copper), making it more durable and ideal for structural components like ring bands and chains.
It provides strength and longevity while maintaining the classic silver tone most people know and love.
By combining fine silver for the botanical elements and sterling silver for bands and chains, each piece balances delicate detail with everyday durability — honoring both artistry and wearability.
