Tibetan silver is used primarily in jewelry
components, and is similar to pewter - an alloy of copper,
and sometimes tin or nickel, with a small percentage of pure silver.
Its overall appearance is of aged or Vintage silver, but it can be polished to provide
highlights on complex castings. The nickel content is nowadays reduced or
absent, due to common allergies to
this metal.
Tibet silver used to have a higher
silver content a decade or two ago, up to 30% or higher, but cheaper
reproductions from Far Eastern factories have diluted the term. The genuine
article can only really be got from the metal and silversmiths in situ, some of
whom still manage to produce work from their long tradition of gold and
silversmithing in this country. The related term 'Nepalese silver', however,
seems to have held on to the higher silver content and association with quality
metalsmithing.
Currently, jewellery,
beads and castings described as 'Tibetan Silver' tends to be a base iron
'cheese metal' casting, overlaid with this pewter and silver plating. Dependent
on source, these can be either thick and robust, or attractive but easily
broken due to a loose, fragile inner casting. The latter productions are
therefore only suitable for small castings up to around 12mm, or transient
'fashion' jewellery with a short lifespan.
