[[Sterling silver]] is an alloy of [[silver]] and [[copper]]. Real world pure silver is usually considered too soft for craftwork and so is merged with other metals to improve its strength and durability. Sterling silver has no other benefits over the silver and copper it is made from than saving refined [[coal]], as the total [[value]] of metal remains the same at 32 units (3*10 and 1*2 -> 4*8), but the resulting Sterling silver cannot be used to produce [[weapon]]s or [[armor|armour]] and items made from it have a lower material value than pure silver, making it a bad choice for high value items.

'''Sterling silver''' is an alloy of [[silver]] and [[copper]]. Real world pure silver is usually considered too soft for [[craftsdwarf's workshop|craftswork]] and so is merged with other metals to improve its strength and durability. Since sterling silver has a lower value and cannot be used to make weapons, it doesn't seem worth spending the fuel to create it, unless a dwarf has a preference for it, or a noble demands it. The total value of four bars of sterling silver (4 * 8) is the same as the value of 3 bars of silver and one bar of copper (3*10 + 1*2 = 32).

Sterling silver is an alloy of silver and copper. Real world pure silver is usually considered too soft for craftswork and so is merged with other metals to improve its strength and durability. Since sterling silver has a lower value and cannot be used to make weapons, it doesn't seem worth spending the fuel to create it, unless a dwarf has a preference for it, or a noble demands it. The total value of four bars of sterling silver (4 * 8) is the same as the value of 3 bars of silver and one bar of copper (3*10 + 1*2 = 32).
