Anybody an expert on silver ? Need help....
I am looking at buying a crucifix.I have acidic skin and the only piece of jewelry I haven't corroded is a ring that as far as I know is pure silver. I can't afford gold. I need to know what is considered GOOD silver. i.e sterling silver is that pure ? No speculations please guys. What do I need to look for. And if anybody is Orthodox,I need some good leads on some affordable and reputable websites selling Orthodox crosses. Thanks for your time and have a great shave man !

Sterling silver is 92.5 percent (925 parts) pure silver and 7.5 percent (75 parts) alloy metal.Coins are typically 90%.
Hope that helps...

The only problem is silver will tarnish and turn black and you will be always polishing it. You can get bullion grade silver which is 99.99% pure and it is resistant to tarnish but I don't know anyone who fashions things out of it, you would have to go custom which is expensive. You can check out gold vermeil which is sterling silver with gold plate overlay and probably these days sterling with Ion Plate in gold also called "Swiss Gold layering". You could also check out Titanium and Tungsten Carbide.

You could always fashion one out of Stainless Steel. There are a bunch of creative folks here and sure some could offer some advice. A bit of drill press and file work and you should be good to go.
