Sterling silver is generally 92.5 percent pure silver but can be higher. Without seeing the actual product listing it would be hard to determine the "as advertised" percents.

As previously indicated, you are looking for fine silver that should be listed as .999 which will not be listed as Sterling.

Indian Jewelry Supply is another source for fine silver wire.
