Absolutely yes! Authentic Bali silver contains at least 92.5% pure silver – identical to sterling silver's composition. The remaining percentage typically includes copper for strength and durability (because pure silver alone would be too soft to withstand your adventures!). What makes Bali silver special isn't a different metal formula, but rather the extraordinary craftsmanship. When shopping, look for the "925" stamp confirming silver content, but the true hallmark of authenticity is the intricate handwork that transforms simple metal into wearable art treasures with genuine cultural significance.
