What is Alpaca Siver Jewelry: Alpaca Silver is an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc. Sometimes called Nickel Silver or German Silver, the usual formulation is 60% copper, 20% nickel and 20% zinc. This particular Product Alloy Mix also has a small bit of Ag (Silver) equally .246 %; Cu (Copper) is 61%; Zn (Zinc) is 20%; Nic (Nickel) is 18%.Because of its visual similarity to sterling silver, Alpaca silver is frequently used in jewelery as a less expensive alternative to true silver. Its stainless finish makes the jewelery easy to clean, requiring only lemon juice or a mild soap to remove any marks or tarnishing. The metal is a shiny silver color that also looks similar to stainless steel. Alpaca silver alloy also can be called nickel silver, German silver, new silver and paktong. Alpaca silver is popular with Central and South American and Mexican jewelry companies and is used to create beautiful, traditional and modern pieces.Alpaca Silver polishes to a bright silver finish and makes stunning jewelry. Many Fair Trade artisans work with Alpaca Silver material, as it is more durable and easier to work with than silver. It is also less precious than silver, making it a more affordable material for both the artisans and collectors!Alpaca Silver is easy to clean and only requires a little lemon juice or soap and warm water to remove tarnish. Due to the copper content, the metal can darken over time. Copper can also leave its telltale mark on the skin when worn for long periods of time, but is not an indication of an allergy. This is a normal chemical reaction.Anyone with a metal allergy to nickel should not wear Alpaca Silver jewelry just to be on the safe side, but as a whole Alpaca Silver is usually quite innocuous. Aside from those with metal allergies Alpaca Silver is a wonderful material for jewelry.The Alpaca material itself is also said to tarnish less than Sterling. To me it seems like “Fools Sterling.” But it is not sterling, but rather a beautiful shiny luster of Alpaca alloy from Mexico. Ships PRIORITY MAIL. 1-4 days.
