    Hi Donna, Sterling silver is .925 fine silver with the balance
    composed of .999 copper. If you're purchasing silver or rhodium
    plated nickel it should be sold as such. They are two separate
    things. 

    I hope this helps! Pam in brisk and sunny MA where the MacIntosh
    apples are tasty and crisp!
