- Sterling Silver - Sterling silver is a mixture of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% of another metal, usually copper. Fine silver is 99.9% pure silver, and is relatively soft and the addition of the very small amount of copper gives the metal enough strength and hardness to be worked into jewellery, decorative and household objects.
- Planished - Planishing is a metalworking technique that involves finishing the surface by finely shaping and smoothing metal sheet, in jewellery usually gold or silver, by using rollers or striking it with a planishing hammer, a hammer that has a broad smooth and polished head.
