Sterling Silver, or 92.5% pure silver.

Also with the inert metal you have to understand that the appearance will not be the standard silver we have all known and to those who throw magnets on everything to see if it's real , well don't do that here because the inert metals will be able to be picked up by a magnet and you may have just thrown away a fortune in silver based on that. So if it has the shine of stainless steal and it has the stamp 925 your still in business Remember silver tarnishes and it can do so and make the ring look cheap when using silver on a ring that has let's say Topaz you don't want it to look cheap by tarnishing around the topaz and any small diamond chips.
