Understanding Silver: What Does 925 Mean?

Silver, a timeless precious metal, has been used for jewellery for centuries. The number 925 refers to the percentage of pure silver in an alloy, with 925 meaning that the item is 92.5% pure silver, with the remainder typically composed of other metals like copper. This blend ensures that the silver retains its strength while maintaining its beautiful shine.

When shopping for silver jewellery, especially second-hand pieces, understanding hallmarking is key. A stamp of "925" assures you that the jewellery contains this high standard of silver, even if it is not assayed and hallmarked in the UK. This stamp indicates that the item is made to the same high-quality specifications as fully hallmarked sterling silver.
