<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9575877, member: 2844&quot;]The term &#039;German silver&#039; for nickel silver isn&#039;t used in Continental Europe. It is only used in English, although the term nickel silver is also used.</p><p>So Erik and I, both Continentals, didn&#039;t even think of the nickel silver confusion, to us it is simply German silver, the real deal.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Maybe use &#039;German silver&#039; for nickel silver, and German silver for actual silver? Or simply call it nickel silver? I&#039;d hate to think real silver has to give up its place for nickel silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>More recently, Chinese sellers introduced the term &#039;Tibetan silver&#039; for a similar base alloy, in spite of the fact that Tibet has a long history of making impressive objects from high grade silver.</p><p>So when I try to find real Tibetan silver, I get pages and pages of junk.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
