Experience has shown copper to be the best choice for improving the hardness and durability of the alloy without affecting its color or luster. The alloy so obtained is called sterling silver.

Disadvantage of Silver:
- The only disadvantage that comes to mind is that silver has a tendency to lose some of its sparkle and become somewhat darker with passage of time.
