Is Mexican silver of good quality?
Yes, Mexican silver is generally considered to be of good quality. Most Mexican silver is 925 sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% base metal. Sterling silver has a visually appealing color and luster and resists scratching and tarnishing. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of Mexican silver jewelry.
