Around the 12^th century the British called all coins that they received from the easterly located European mainland ‘sterling’ and later on the melted down these coins for their own money. The pound they achieved with the melted down easterling, was called ‘Sterling pound’ and had almost the same chemical composite as the 925 Sterling Silver that Magnolia uses nowadays for the jewellery.
