What is Alpaca Silver?
Alpaca silver (also known as “Nickel Silver” or “German Silver”) is a high-quality metal alloy widely used by South American artisans for its beauty and resilience.
• The Composition: Despite its name, it does not contain elemental silver. It is a sturdy blend of copper, nickel, and zinc.
• The Look: It is prized for its bright, lustrous finish that mimics the look of sterling silver but at a more accessible price point.
• Durability: It is significantly harder and more durable than pure silver, meaning it holds its shape beautifully and is highly resistant to tarnishing.
• Artisanal Tradition: In Peru, Alpaca silver has a deep history. Local master-smiths favor it for its malleability, allowing them to hand-carve the intricate, detailed patterns you see in our hummingbird and serpent designs.
Care Note: Because of its copper content, Alpaca silver may eventually develop a warm patina. A quick polish with a soft cloth or a bit of lemon juice restores its original shine!
Please note: As it contains nickel, this material may not be suitable for those with specific nickel allergies.
