Beth,

    While, yes, it is possible that some misguided jeweler might try to
    make a sterling mix of 925 fine silver and 75 nickel every reference
    book I have says sterling is silver and copper. While there might be
    some experimental stuff somewhere out there, the sterling that
    99.99999999999999% of the people buy and sell has no nickel in it. I
    would have added a few more 9's at the end there but I'm not clear
    anyone would want to read a number that long. { - ;
