praktikahõgedega

Praktikahõbedaga refers to items made from sterling silver, which is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This alloy is commonly used for jewelry, silverware, and other decorative objects. The term "praktikahõbedaga" is a direct translation from Estonian, where "hõbe" means silver and "praktika" can refer to practical use or common practice. Therefore, "praktikahõbedaga" signifies objects made with this commonly used silver alloy.

Sterling silver is known for its durability and shine, making it a popular choice for everyday wear and use. It is more robust than pure silver, which is too soft for most applications. The addition of copper increases its strength and resilience. Objects made from praktikahõbedaga often bear a hallmark, typically stamped with "925" or "Sterling," indicating the silver content.

While sterling silver tarnishes over time due to a chemical reaction with sulfur in the air, this tarnish can be easily removed with polishing cloths or commercial silver cleaners. Its affordability compared to precious metals like gold or platinum also contributes to its widespread popularity. Praktikahõbedaga items can range from simple rings and necklaces to elaborate serving trays and candlesticks.
