Alpacca, also known as Alpaca Silver, German Silver, or Nickel Silver, is an alloy primarily composed of copper, nickel, and often zinc. Despite its name, it contains no actual silver. It was developed as a more affordable alternative to sterling silver due to its similar silvery-white appearance, corrosion resistance, and malleability, which makes it excellent for intricate designs.
Historically, Alpacca has been widely used in various cultures for jewelry, decorative items, and flatware. Over time, it develops a beautiful, natural patina, much like genuine silver, which can add to its vintage appeal and highlight its detailed craftsmanship. Pieces made from Alpacca are valued for their artistic merit, durability, and often, their unique cultural or historical designs.
