Sterling silver jewellery is not made of pure silver, as that is too soft and jewellery made of it easily loses its shape.
The alloy of silver and copper produces sterling silver. It is exactly like pure silver, just much better to be used as a material for casting into jewellery. One of the drawbacks of sterling silver jewellery is that it tarnished in the air. Even though pure silver does not tarnish, sterling silver does. And so sterling silver jewellery left in the air is prone to oxidization and it tarnishes. The tarnish can easily be removed by buffing the jewellery with a cotton cloth regularly. And if it is a lot tarnished then some jewellery polish will remove the tarnish. You can also make a polish at home of hot water, salt and baking soda, placed in a pan lined with a tin foil. Place your tarnished sterling silver jewellery in it, the tarnish will be transferred to the foil.

Every form of jewellery requires maintenance, so that shouldn’t be a big issue as these easy techniques will keep your sterling silver jewellery.
