FAQs: Second Hand 925 Silver Chains

Is a stamped 925 chain real silver?

Yes, a 925 stamp indicates that the piece contains 92.5% pure silver, which is the industry standard for quality silver jewellery.

What is the difference between 925 silver and sterling silver?

In practice, both terms refer to the same silver content (92.5%). However, sterling silver is typically fully hallmarked in the UK, confirming that it has undergone the official assay process.

Is it safe to buy second-hand silver?

Absolutely. When purchased from a reputable dealer like H E Phillips Ltd, second-hand silver is carefully assessed, authenticated, and guaranteed.

Why is there no full hallmark on this chain?

While the chain is stamped 925, it may not have been officially assayed in the UK. Despite this, it is guaranteed to be the correct purity and is sold with the assurance of our refund policy.

Can I return the item if it’s not as described?

Yes. H E Phillips Ltd offers a full refund policy in the event of an error in item description or authenticity.

Understanding Silver: What Does 925 Mean?

The number 925 refers to the composition of the silver alloy—92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. This blend enhances the durability of the silver, making it suitable for everyday jewellery.

Key Facts About 925 Silver:

• Durable and long-lasting

• Less prone to tarnish than pure silver

• Widely used in fine jewellery

925 silver is globally recognised for quality, even when it is not fully hallmarked. That said, a full UK hallmark can offer an extra layer of assurance for those who want an officially verified piece.

FAQs: Silver and Hallmarking

What is hallmarking?

Hallmarking is the official testing and certification process that confirms the purity of precious metals.

Why is hallmarking important?

It provides:

• Verification of silver purity

• Identification of the maker or sponsor

• Indication of place and year of manufacture

• Protection against counterfeit items

Does 925 guarantee purity?

While it indicates the same silver content, only a hallmark confirms that the silver has been officially tested in a UK assay office.

Hallmarking and the Assurance of Quality

While this second-hand chain is not fully hallmarked, its 925 stamp confirms the same high level of purity. At H E Phillips Ltd, you’re not only purchasing a beautiful piece of jewellery, but also peace of mind, with each item backed by our guarantee and refund policy. When it comes to buying silver, hallmarks can provide reassurance, but trust in the seller is just as crucial.
