German silver, also known as nickel silver, is a metal alloy known for its silver-like appearance.  Contrary to its name, German silver is not actually from Germany, nor does it contain any elemental silver but rather a blend of copper, zinc, and nickel.  German silver gets its name from its silver-like appearance and was coined in the 19th century, originating in Germany where it was first produced in larger quantities.  It was initially associated with German metallurgical advancements during this time.  

German silver's composition grants it excellent durability and resistance to tarnishing and corrosion, ensuring your piece retains its beautiful appearance over time, preserving its beauty for generations to come.
