What is 925 Silver? Understanding the Marking

Silver jewellery often bears a 925 stamp, which means the item is made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper). This is the standard for high-quality silver used worldwide.

Why isn’t it hallmarked?

Hallmarking is an official UK assay process that confirms the purity and origin of precious metals. Not all silver jewellery, especially older or imported pieces, are fully hallmarked. However, a 925 stamp still confirms the correct silver content.

Frequently Asked Questions – About Silver

Q: What is the difference between 925 silver and sterling silver?
A: Technically, they are the same in silver content. However, ‘sterling silver’ usually refers to fully hallmarked silver under UK law.

Q: Is 925 silver good quality?
A: Yes, 925 silver is the industry standard for quality silver jewellery.

Q: Will my skin turn green from wearing silver?
A: No, not usually. 925 silver is generally hypoallergenic.

Q: What are the benefits of silver jewellery?
A: Silver is elegant, timeless, and less expensive than gold while still maintaining beauty and durability.

• Confirms silver purity

• Shows the maker’s mark

• Indicates assay office and date

• Reduces the risk of counterfeit goods
