Understanding 925 Silver and Hallmarking

What Is 925 Silver?

925 silver, or sterling silver, contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. This composition enhances the metal's durability while maintaining its beauty.

The Importance of Hallmarking

Not all 925 silver jewellery undergoes an official assay process. Simply being stamped "925" does not guarantee that it has been officially tested for purity. A fully hallmarked item, however, assures you that:

• The silver meets UK legal standards for sterling silver.
• It has been independently tested and certified.
• It carries a mark identifying its maker, place, and year of assay.

FAQs About Silver

Q: What is the difference between sterling silver and pure silver?

A: Pure silver (99.9%) is too soft for jewellery. Sterling silver (92.5%) is strengthened with other metals, making it more durable.

Q: Does all silver jewellery have to be hallmarked?

A: In the UK, any silver item over 7.78 grams must be hallmarked by law.

Q: Can I wear sterling silver every day?

A: Yes, but regular cleaning is recommended to maintain its lustre.

Q: What causes silver to tarnish?

A: Silver reacts with sulphur in the air, creating a tarnished layer. Storing it properly and cleaning it frequently helps prevent this.

Hallmarks: A Guarantee of Quality
