Questions & Comments
HI Pretty pin. But, I googled Taxco, America, and there is NONE :/ It's in Mexico. Are you sure it doesn't say Taxco Alpaca, instead of America?
Just some friendly info in case you didn't know... many Listian's don't know how to reply to comments on auctions --If you just add another 'comment' on your auction page, people won't know you are answering them. ... on your "My Listia" page, scroll about 3/4 down the page and on the left hand side there's the blue highlighted 'Comments' click on "You haven't replied to", they also show up in your 'notifications' icon, to get to your listing and then you can reply under the comment by clicking the *blue* highlighted "reply" on your auction listing page. Sometimes, if you're using a phone app they show up as a 'comment' and not a reply too :/ I think it's an app glitch.
As far as I know Alpaca is not a STERLING SILVER, Alpaca is a (Nickel, Copper, and /or Zinc alloy) that looks pretty much like Sterling .925 but it has lesser value than the sterling .925 does. From the dictionary: (Sterling silver is an alloy having at least 92.5% of silver and the remainder 7.5% usually copper, the minimum millesimal fineness is .925). Fine Silver 99.9% pure is generally too soft for producing large functional objects and in sterling silver is usually alloyed with copper to give strenght while preserving the ductility of the silver and a high precious content.
Other metals can replace the copper, these include Germanium, Zinc, Platinum as well as a variety of others additives including Silicon and Boron to increase resistance to tarnish. This means that ALPACA has a lower percent of Silver and a higher percent of Copper, Nickel or something else, in others words when Silver contains an alloy of more than 7.5% of any other materials, it will become Alpaca.
