Its' a box chain. 24"  diamond cut.  It's on sale. New.  For some reason I couldn't get it online.  Called Cust Serv and they ordered it for me.  After 2022/23 of lousy UltraFine, they are starting to come in.  J388445  No presentation yet. Looks ordinary, but if it's UltraFine its no ordinary silver.

What makes ultrafine unlike ordinary silver?

[wagirl]

@rockygems123 --I think.... it contains a little more silver--95% instead of 92.5%---I guess that tiny amount makes a difference. I have so much reg silver but no Ultra fine-----

It is 95 percent, and nickel-free.

This isn't new--I have it.  You can tell by the item number beginning with a "3" right after the "J."

In any case, it's very nice!

UltraFine has less copper then Sterling Silver.  Copper is the ingredient that triggers tarnishing.  But copper makes silver strong. So it's a bit softer then regular sterling.  UltraFine resists tarnishing.

FYI....like you, I love UltraFine. But in some pieces in the last year or so, I've  noticed an orange-ish color develop...and I'm very careful about my pieces. I can buff the color out, but still. This never used to happen.
