<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 442173, member: 59"]Going back to math class, just so it's clear (although both Terry and Holly are expressing it differently.) Silver alloy is measured in parts per thousand. 1 percent of 1000 is 10. The difference between sterling at 925 parts per thousand and the Swiss standard of 935 parts per thousand is 10. Therefore, there is 1% more silver in the 935 than there is in sterling. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
