P1616 Vintage Abalone and Alpaca Mexico Stamped Metal Pendant

Meaning of Alpaca Silver:

Alpaca Silver is a metal alloy of copper, nickel and sometimes zinc or iron. The metal is a shiny silver color that looks similar to stainless steel. It does not contain any Alpaca (the animal). Alpaca Silver is a durable material.

Alpaca Silver is easy to clean and only requires a little lemon juice or soap and warm water to remove tarnish. Due to the copper content, the metal can darken over time.
