The terms "sterling silver" and "solid sterling silver" generally refer to the same material, which is an alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. The word "solid" is sometimes used to emphasize that the piece is made entirely of sterling silver, rather than being silver-plated or having a non-silver core. However, in most contexts, "sterling silver" already implies that the item is solid and not plated.
