Searching for best alternative to Sterling Silver

Need to substitute Sterling Silver (jewelry components) with non-tarnishing plated material. This is for Fashion Jewelry so can include non-precious metals. Does need to be Lead and Nickel Free.

Only the precious metal are non-tarnishing, Grace. But white bronze looks a lot like nickel and is nickel-free. And, of course,, you could do silver electroplating instead of solid silver.
