Recycled Silver
Silver is a precious alloy, quite maleable and with a whitish colour.Its purity is measured on a per-mille basis; fine silver(1000) alloy contains 99.9% pure silver and is very maleable and difficult to use. Therefore, silver alloys with smaller quanitities of silver are most commonly used, such as 925 or 950. Sterling Silver or .925 Silver contains of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals that add hardness to the alloy.
Silver as a metal can always be recycled, in terms that it can be molten and reused. Mirra Tierra jewellery is mostly made of recycled .925 silver coming from certified supplier ( Cooksongold, UK) . Recycled sterling silver is precious silver that is not mined from the ground. Instead, it is produced from extracting the silver from unwanted jewellery, scrap silver, electronics, even medical equipment or other used metal products. Once the silver is separated from the other metals it is mixed with, it's ready to be reused. All silver scrap that occur during the making process of Mirra Tierra jewellery is also recycled and reused for new jewellery.
