Let’s understand  the Purity and Power of Sterling Silver.

If you’ve ever taken a closer look at your silver jewellery, you may have noticed a small stamp reading "925." While it might seem like a random number, this mark actually reveals a lot about the quality and composition of your jewellery. So, what does it really mean when a piece is marked with 925?

Let’s break it down.

What Is 925 Silver?

The term "925 silver" refers to sterling silver, which is made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. Pure silver, also known as fine silver, is too soft in its natural state to be used for most jewellery. By combining it with copper, the metal becomes more durable and better suited for daily wear, without compromising its shine.

That small “925” stamp on your jewellery is not just a number, it's a symbol of authenticity and quality.

Why 925 Silver Matters

There’s a reason why sterling silver has remained a favourite in the jewellery world for generations. Here’s why 925 silver deserves a place in your collection:

1. Authentic Craftsmanship
When you choose 925 silver, you're choosing genuine, high-quality metal that holds long-term value unlike silver-plated or imitation pieces that wear out quickly.

2. Kind to Skin
Sterling silver is generally hypoallergenic, making it a safe choice for sensitive skin. It doesn’t contain nickel or other irritants commonly found in lower-quality accessories.

3. Timeless Versatility
With its soft shine and elegant look, silver works with everything from casual daywear to evening outfits. It’s subtle, classic, and effortlessly modern.

4. Easy to Care For
925 silver may naturally tarnish over time, but it’s incredibly easy to clean. With occasional polishing, your jewellery can look just as good years down the line.

How to Identify Real 925 Silver

To ensure you're purchasing authentic sterling silver, keep an eye out for:

• A 925 stamp or hallmark, usually found on the inside of rings, necklace clasps, or behind earrings.
  
  

• A slightly heavy and solid feel.Real silver has weight.
  
  

• A soft, non-reflective shine.
  
  

• Natural tarnish over time, which is a normal sign of real silver.
  
  

When in doubt, always purchase from trusted and transparent brands.
