Paktong (also called Nickel Silver, German Silver, Cupronickel, White Copper, Nickel Silver)
VERY BRIGHT & HARD, CORROSION AND TARNISH RESISTANT - despite its high copper/nickel content it remarkably is silver-coloured and sometimes marketed as imitation 925 silver (being of the same colouring and similar hardness)  Please note: This is the Paktong Silver originating from the nickel mines in Yunnan, China (one of which is the 2nd largest in the world) and NOT German Silver (although the 2 being somewhat similar are sometimes confused).  In fact many are under the impression that Paktong is a pseudonym for German Silver/Nickel Silver White Copper, however this is not the case, cupro-nickel was known as a unique  naturally occurring alloy by the Chinese as early as 120 BCE in Yunnan, and was likely a valuable internal trade commodity; it was only during importation of white copper from China in the 18th century by Europeans that it gained increased interest.  Efforts to exactly copy PAKTONG SILVER  failed due to the requisite complex mix of ores required to form it (later this was found to exist in the German district of Schneeburg and it was only after a prize was offered for the mastery of the process that German Silver was launched)..... [The above info partially from Wiki & other sources and some from my Chinese Supplier]

 This product is Paktong-Coated over a base metal alloy and is very bright, closely resembling 925 silver
