Awesome. Wonderful rich blue. Is the habaki made of real silver, or would that be not practical in terms of durability?

Awesome. Wonderful rich blue. Is the habaki made of real silver, or would that be not practical in terms of durability? Goldsmith here. When referring to the Mohs scale for hardness, pure copper and sterling silver both have a minimum hardness of 2,5. However, depending on how they are treated, copper can reach a hardness of 3,5, while sterling silver can reach 4. In the end it doesn't make that much of a difference. If I recall correctly, copper was historically used for the habaki, therefore I don't think that it would make that much of a difference when it comes to the desired function.
