Sterling Silver

Origin of the metal alloy
Although the origin of the word "book" is controversial, it is generally admitted that the sterling alloy originated in continental Europe, and was used for trade since the 12th century in what is now northern Germany.
Etymology
The earliest attestation of the term is Esterlin old French form, in a charter of the abbey of Praux dating of 1085 or 1104, either. The English chronicler Orderic Vitalis (1075 - c. 1142) uses the Latin forms libr libr sterilensis sterilensium and Monet. The original word refers the silver penny Norman newly introduced.
The most plausible etymology is derived from a late steorling * Old English "[Exhibit] With a Star, as some early Norman pennies were printed with a small star.
There are a number of assumptions obsolete. One suggests a link with the starling, and another connection with alleged Easterling, a term for natives of the Baltic Hanseatic cities of Germany Eastern. This etymology is itself medieval Pinchebek suggested by Walter (ca. 1300) with the explanation that the piece was originally by counterfeiters in this region (OED).
A century of eating insignia: the silver craze of 1840 to 1940

From about 1840 to somewhere around 1940 in the United States and Europe, sterling silver flatware became de rigueur when setting a appropriate table. In fact, there was a marked increase in the number of silver companies that emerged during this period.
The height of the craze money was during the period of 50 years from 1870 to 1920. lines covered during this period sometimes included up to 100 different types parts. In conjunction with this, the dinner went three times over ten or more. There was a soup, a salad course, a fruit course, a course cheese, an antipasto course, a fish dish, main dish and a pastry or dessert.
individual eating implements often included forks (fork, place fork, salad fork, pastry fork, shrimp or cocktail fork), spoons (teaspoon, tablespoon coffee, mocha spoon, soup spoon, gumbo soup spoon, iced tea spoon) and knives (dinner knife, knife Instead, butter knife, fruit knife, cheese knife). This was particularly true during the Victorian period, when the label required that nothing should be touched with fingers.
Serving pieces were often elaborately decorated and pierced and embellished with ivory, and could include some or all of the following: carving knife and fork, knife and fork, salad, cold meat fork, punch bag, ladle, ladle sauce casserole serving spoon, berry spoon, lasagna server, macaroni server, asparagus server, server cucumber, tomato server, spoon olive, cheese scoop, fish knife and fork, pastry server, petit four server, cake knife, spoon sweets, spoon salt tiny sieve powdered sugar or crumbs and solvent with a brush.
flatware sets were often accompanied by tea pots hot water, chocolate pots, trays and trays, cups, mugs and demitasse saucers, liqueur cups of broth, egg cups, sterling napkin rings, water and wine pitchers and coasters, candelabra and even information centers.
In fact, the craze with sterling even extended to business (sterling page clips, mechanical pencils, letter openers, boxes, calling cards, cigarette cases), in the boudoir (trays Sterling dresser, mirrors, hairbrushes and clothing, pill bottles, manicure sets, shoe horns, perfume bottles, powder flask, tongs hair) and fixed, even for children (cups, flatware, rattles, christening).
A number of factors converged to bring down the pound's favor at the time of the Second World War. The cost of labor rose (sterling pieces were all still largely handmade, with only the basics are done by machine). Only the rich could afford the large number of servants required for fancy meals with ten courses. And changes in aesthetics resulted in people desiring simpler table that was easier to clean.
Punches
Over the years, most countries around the world have developed their own systems punching money. The purpose of the request is a multiple mark:
To indicate the purity the silver alloy used in manufacturing or hand-d'artisanat part.
To identify the silversmith or company that has made the room.
Note the date and / or location of manufacture.
Miscellaneous
In addition to the uses of sterling silver mentioned above, there are some little-known uses of the pound sterling:
Medical Devices: Evidence of money and / or silver alloy surgical and medical instruments was found in cultures as early as Ur, dating from the Hellenistic period in Egypt and Rome, and their continued use until largely replaced in Western countries in the mid to late 20th century by the cheaper, disposable plastic. Malleability is a natural physical advantage obvious, but it also has a specific medical benefit, including the fact that it is naturally aseptic and in respect of modern medical practices, it is resistant to antiseptics, sterilization by heat and body fluids.
Musical Instruments Because of sterling silver with a particular sound character, some manufacturers use brass instruments in 92.5% sterling silver as a material for making their instruments including the flute and saxophone. For example, some leading saxophone manufactuers such as Selmer and Yanagisawa have designed some their saxophones sterling silver, which they believe will make the instruments more resonant and colorful timbre.
Tarnish and corrosion
As the purity of money decreases, the problem increases corrosion and tarnishing.
Chemically, silver is not very reactivet does not react with oxygen or water at ordinary temperatures, does not easily form a silver oxide. However, other metals the alloy, usually copper, may react with oxygen in the air.
The black silver sulfide (Ag2S) is among the most insoluble salts in an aqueous solution, a property that is exploited for separating silver ions from other positive ions.
Chloride sodium (NaCl) or common table salt is known to corrode silver-copper alloy, typically seen in silver salt shakers where corrosion appears around holes in the upper part.

Polishing silver
Several products have been developed the purpose of polishing silver used to remove sulfur from the metal without damaging or deforming. Because the polishing and polishing hard can damage permanently and devalue a piece of antique silver, valuable items are usually polished by hand to preserve the unique patina of ancient coins. Techniques such as wheel polishing, which are usually done by professional jewelers or silver repair companies, are reserved for extreme tarnish or corrosion. See also tarnish removal.
