Vintage Alpaca Silver Abalone Inlay Pink and 50 similar items

Pre owned with minor wear. Contrary to what its name suggests, alpaca silver has nothing to do with alpacas or silver. It is based off a Chinese formulation of nickel silver (a type of copper alloy containing nickel and zinc). Although it is not as financially valuable as silver, alpaca silver is a popular material amongst some jewelers and craftsmen. In Mexico, Central America and South America, alpaca silver is frequently used to make jewelry and crafts. It is incredibly durable and malleable, allowing itself to be shaped into detailed pieces while being strong enough to hold its shape. The end products can be beautiful, but people with nickel allergies should avoid wearing alpaca silver jewelry to avoid potential breakouts Pre owned items may contain signs of wear or flaws not pictured.
