FAQs – Silver Bracelets

Q: What does it mean for silver to be hallmarked?
A: Hallmarking confirms the purity of the silver and ensures it meets legal standards. It also identifies the maker and sometimes the date and location of manufacture.

Q: Is a stamped ‘925’ the same as a hallmark?
A: No. While ‘925’ indicates that the item is made from sterling silver, a hallmark provides official verification of its purity.

Q: Can I wear my sterling silver bracelet every day?
A: Yes, but to maintain its shine, avoid exposure to chemicals such as perfumes and cleaning agents.

Q: How do I clean my sterling silver bracelet?
A: Use a soft cloth and a silver polish solution or a mild soap and water mix to remove tarnish.

Understanding 925 Silver and Hallmarking

925 sterling silver consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy, usually copper, to enhance durability. While many items bear a ‘925’ stamp, this does not necessarily mean they have undergone official testing. In the UK, full hallmarking confirms the item’s authenticity, adding a layer of trust for buyers.

Why Hallmarking Matters:

• Confirms the purity of silver used.
• Identifies the manufacturer or silversmith.
• Indicates the assay office where it was tested.
• Protects buyers from counterfeit silver.

FAQs – Sterling Silver

Q: Why does sterling silver tarnish over time?
A: Sterling silver reacts with sulphur in the air, causing tarnishing. Regular cleaning prevents this.

Q: Can sterling silver be resized?
A: Yes, but it should be done by a professional jeweller to maintain integrity.

Q: What is the difference between sterling silver and pure silver?
A: Pure silver (99.9%) is too soft for everyday wear. Sterling silver (92.5%) is mixed with alloy for durability.

Hallmarking: A Sign of Quality Assurance

When purchasing silver jewellery, a full hallmark provides the highest level of assurance. It not only guarantees the purity of silver but also ensures that the item has been properly tested by an assay office. This added layer of authentication gives peace of mind when investing in fine silver jewellery.
