Is sterling silver appropriate for a wedding ring?

My partner and I are ring shopping. I’m concerned about nickel allergies, so I’m leaning away from traditional white gold. My two options are palladium white gold, or sterling silver.

It seems like many of the designs we like (more alternative, creative, organic, etc) are made with sterling silver, and the price is nice too. Will sterling silver hold up over a lifetime? I’m okay with wear and tear, but I don’t want it to break, wear away to nothing, etc. I’ll probably have a very thin band, too (2 mm). Has anyone had a sterling silver wedding or engagement ring?

Thanks.
