Questions About Regency Silver Sterling
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 27, 2024
    Opinions differ as to why sterling silver is called sterling. Some scholars believe that the name comes from the term Easterlings, referring to coin makers who relocated from Germany to England in the 12th century. Others say that sterling is a derivation of Starling, the name of the one-penny silver coin in circulation in 1300 when King Edward I issued a decree that all silver articles were to be at least 92.5% pure silver. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of sterling silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects.

On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of sterling silver jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
