Frequently Asked Questions About Silver Bracelets

1. How do I clean my sterling silver bracelet?

Use a soft polishing cloth or a specialised silver cleaning solution to remove tarnish and maintain its shine.

2. Will sterling silver tarnish over time?

Yes, sterling silver can tarnish due to exposure to air and moisture, but regular cleaning can help maintain its brilliance.

3. Can I wear my silver bracelet every day?

Absolutely! Sterling silver is durable enough for daily wear, but it's best to avoid contact with harsh chemicals such as chlorine and perfumes.

4. What does 925 mean on a silver bracelet?

It signifies that the bracelet contains 92.5% pure silver, with the remaining 7.5% being other metals (usually copper) to enhance durability.

5. Is hallmarked silver better than just stamped 925 silver?

Yes, a hallmark confirms that the silver has been officially tested and guaranteed, offering additional assurance of quality and authenticity.

Understanding Sterling Silver: What is 925 Silver?

925 sterling silver is an alloy made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper, which adds strength and durability. Pure silver (99.9%) is too soft for practical jewellery making, so sterling silver provides a perfect balance of beauty and resilience.

Why is Hallmarking Important?

• Confirms the purity of the silver alloy.
• Identifies the maker or company.
• Provides information on the date and location of manufacture.
• Helps prevent counterfeit silver jewellery.

At H E Phillips Ltd, all our silver jewellery is fully hallmarked, ensuring it meets the highest standards of quality and authenticity.
