Silver is a wonderfully soft metal, which is why it’s often combined with others to create more durable pieces. This is how we distinguish between “fine silver” and “sterling silver.” Sterling silver includes alloys like copper to enhance its strength. At TGB, we’re interested in all types of silver items, no matter their purity. A quick note—avoid polishing your silver before bringing it in; the natural patina could actually boost its value.
