Silver Market Offers Purity Standards and Digital Alternatives

The silver market offers various purity standards for investors and consumers to choose from. Fine Silver (99.9% Pure) is the purest form, suitable for investment coins and bars due to its resistance to tarnish but softness.

Another popular option is Sterling Silver (92.5% Pure), which contains 7.5% other metals like copper and is widely used in jewellery and household items.

Pricing of silver also involves additional costs, including making charges, a 3% GST, and stone deductions for studded silver jewellery.

Investors can opt for digital silver alternatives, such as Silver ETFs or Exchange Traded Funds, which track domestic silver prices and provide flexibility in buying and selling.
