Understanding 925 Sterling Silver

Sterling silver (925) is a high-quality silver alloy made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals. The addition of other metals increases its strength, making it ideal for crafting jewellery. However, without proper hallmarking, a stamped 925 piece may not have undergone full UK testing for purity. Fully hallmarked silver ensures:

• Guaranteed purity of the silver alloy used
• Identification of the manufacturer or silversmith
• Possible date and location of manufacture
• Protection against counterfeit silver items

Frequently Asked Questions – Silver Jewellery

Q: Why does silver tarnish?
A: Silver reacts with sulphur in the air, causing tarnishing. Proper storage and regular cleaning help prevent this.

Q: What is the difference between sterling silver and fine silver?
A: Fine silver is 99.9% pure but is too soft for jewellery, whereas sterling silver (92.5% silver) is stronger and more durable.

Q: Can I shower with sterling silver jewellery?
A: It is not recommended, as prolonged exposure to water and soaps can accelerate tarnishing.
