Alpaca Silver is an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc. Sometimes called Nickel Silver or German Silver, the usual formulation is 60% copper, 20% nickel and 20% zinc.

Believe it or not, Alpaca Silver has nothing to do with the cute, furry wool animals, and contains no real silver!

Alpaca Silver polishes to a bright silver finish and also makes stunning jewelry. Many Fair Trade artisans in Central and South America work with Alpaca Silver material, as it is more durable and easier to work with than silver. It is also less precious than silver, making it a more affordable material for both the artisans and collectors!

Alpaca Silver is easy to clean and only requires a little lemon juice or soap and warm water to remove tarnish.
