Some scholars believe that the name comes from the term Easterlings, referring to coin makers who relocated from Germany to England in the 12th century.

Depending on the composition, the alloy may be nickel, copper, brass or other metals. On 1stDibs, find a variety of sterling silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024To identify sterling silver, look for hallmarks in an inconspicuous area, such as the underside of flatware handles, the bottoms of serveware and the interior or clasp areas of jewelry.

- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Yes, some antique sterling silver is valuable. Sterling silver of any age has value as a material because it is a precious metal.

On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of antique sterling silver wares.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024To tell if sterling silver is real, put a magnet close to it. Genuine sterling silver isn't magnetic, so an attraction may indicate one of two things.

For assistance with the identification process, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler. Shop a large selection of sterling silver jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Is Gorham sterling real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, Gorham sterling is real silver. However, sterling silver is not solid silver.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Sterling silver is considered antique if it was made over 100 years ago. Many antique sterling silver items will have a mark or stamp. First, clean the item and check for marks. A “925” mark indicates a silver purity of 92.5 percent, which is the composition of sterling silver. If you don’t see a mark, work with a certified appraiser to acid test the item and determine the silver content. You’ll find expertly vetted antique sterling silver items on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Tiffany & Co. uses sterling silver. According to their website, they were one of the first American companies to institute the .925 sterling silver standard in 1851. Sterling silver is a precious metal that may require cleaning to retain its beauty and character for generations.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Although you can shower with 925 sterling silver jewelry on, it is better to remove it prior to bathing.
