What is 925 sterling silver?
Silver is a heavy, rare, soft metal with a distinctive metallic sheen.
The silver content of a piece of jewelry is usually measured in “parts per thousand,” represented by the symbol °. For example, 925° silver means 92.5 percent (925 parts) pure silver and 7.5 percent (75 parts) metal alloy.
So why don't we use 100% silver in jewelry?
Pure silver is too soft for use in jewelry, ornaments, and other items, so we add other metals—usually copper—to make it suitable for jewelry. 925° is the ideal purity, making your jewelry durable enough to stand the test of time and wear.
All silver jewelry should be stamped with the “925” hallmark. It is usually found on the underside of a piece in very small numbers so it doesn't affect its appearance.
925 sterling silver does not cause allergies like other metals. If someone is allergic to 925 sterling silver, they are allergic to all metals and should wear jewelry made only of yellow or white gold.
Silver is a metal that tarnishes over time. This is completely normal and nothing to worry about—it proves that the jewelry is genuine silver. There are ways to slow down this process (platinum plating, gold plating, and care tips), and we can easily restore your jewelry to its original color.
