FAQs About Silver
Q: What is the difference between 925 silver and sterling silver?
A: Technically, they are the same in composition (92.5% silver), but “sterling silver” usually refers to items fully hallmarked under UK law.
Q: Why is silver alloyed with other metals?
A: Pure silver is too soft for everyday use. Alloying adds durability.
Q: Can 925 silver cause skin irritation?
A: Rarely. Most people can wear it without issues, but those with sensitivities may react to the small copper content.
Q: Is silver hypoallergenic?
A: Generally, yes – but nickel in low-quality alloys may cause reactions. 925 silver typically avoids this.
The Importance of Hallmarking in Silver Jewellery
Hallmarks provide extra assurance that your jewellery is genuine. In the UK, fully hallmarked silver has been tested by an independent assay office, confirming:
The purity of the silver alloy
The registered sponsor or maker
The date letter and assay location
While this chain is not fully hallmarked, it is stamped 925 and guaranteed by H E Phillips Ltd to be genuine 925 silver. Buyers are protected with a full refund policy in the rare event of an error.
