actually pure silver is a liquid like mercury. Hence you could never have a necklace of pure silver. i would say the purest form is .999 . Also with silver plated items. after a while the silver will slowly rub off after all the polishing

traditional sterling silver is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper this is also why sterling is also called 925 silver. Thus traditional sterling silver had a slight "golden" cast to the silver as compared with a lot of modern silver which is more grey-silver or bluish-silver... modern replacements for the traditional 7.5% copper include germanium, zinc, platinum (gives a nice colour too, very silvery, with a slight early beige-like tarnish) with additives like silicon and boron .

as gold is to the sun and the God or Gods. So silver is to the moon and the Goddess or Goddesses. A lot of pagan high priestesses wear silver cresents as they reguard the moon as sacred. rings made of silver with emeralds,jade, lapis lazuli or pearls were worn to attract love.

Some people report during the full moon people have problesm with their emotions if they wear silver.

also silver aids in psychic awareness when worn. as well as used in money spells
