About Silver

Silver has been used by mankind since the 5th century BC. Although less rare, silver has at times been more valuable than gold. Silver has lost none of its fascination to this day. Its white colour and radiating shine continues to enrapture people today, just as it did thousands of years ago. Silver is one of the finest metals when it comes to its physics and chemistry: It is the most conductive of all metals in terms of heat and electricity.

Freshly refined silver has the best reflection characteristics of all metals: Over 99.5 percent of visible light is reflected. Silver is a rare precious metal: The proportion of silver in the around 16-kilometre-thick earth crust is just 0.08 grams per ton. That is why silver is valuable. But, above all else, silver is beautiful! Silver has the highest light-reflecting properties of all known materials, which is why silver has such a bright, white metal shine.
