What is 925 sterling silver?
Silver is a heavy, rare, soft metal with a bright metallic sheen.
The silver content of a piece of jewellery is usually measured in “parts per thousand,” indicated by a ° symbol. For example, 925° silver means 92.5% (925 parts) pure silver and 7.5% (75 parts) metal alloy.
Pure silver is too soft for use in jewellery, ornaments, and other items. That is why other metals, usually copper, are added to make silver suitable for jewellery. The 925 standard ensures your jewellery is durable and made to last.
All silver jewellery should be stamped with the “925” hallmark. It is usually found on the underside of a piece, in very small numbers so it does not affect the design’s appearance.
925 sterling silver does not cause allergies like some other metals. Anyone allergic to 925 sterling silver is allergic to all metals and should wear jewellery made only from yellow or white gold.
Silver is a metal that tarnishes over time. This is completely normal and nothing to worry about, as it proves that the piece is indeed silver. There are ways to slow this process, such as rhodium plating and gold plating, and the jewellery can easily be restored to its original colour.
