Metal Content
We started this project by melting down fine silver and pure copper to create an ingot of 93% silver alloy. Consequentially our alloys are a little on the rich side of .925 Sterling. Copper alone is the remaining 7%. We do not add base metal in our alloy so there is less chance for any allergic reaction.

Weights and Measures
This bracelet measures about 8.5 inches around, an oval measuring 65 x 55 mm and the weight is 24.1 grams.
