FAQs About Silver Bracelets

Q: Is a hallmarked bracelet better than one stamped 925?

A: Store in a dry place, avoid exposure to chemicals, and clean regularly with a soft cloth to maintain its shine.

Q: Can sterling silver tarnish?
A: Yes, but regular cleaning and proper storage help prevent and remove tarnishing.

Understanding 925 Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper, to enhance its durability. Pure silver (99.9%) is too soft for everyday jewellery, making sterling silver the ideal choice for strength and longevity.

Why Is Hallmarking Important?

1. Confirms Purity – Guarantees the silver content meets legal standards.
2. Identifies the Maker – Provides details about the silversmith or company.
3. Indicates Origin – Shows the place and year of manufacture.
4. Protects Buyers – Reduces the risk of counterfeit silver purchases.

In the UK, hallmarking is a legal requirement for silver items above a certain weight, offering buyers added security in their purchase.

FAQs About Silver Jewellery

Q: What is the difference between sterling silver and pure silver?
A: Pure silver is too soft for practical use, while sterling silver (925) is strengthened with other metals.

Q: How can I tell if my silver jewellery is real?
A: Look for hallmarks or perform a magnet test—sterling silver is not magnetic.

Q: Is sterling silver hypoallergenic?
A: Yes, sterling silver is generally hypoallergenic, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

Hallmarks: A Sign of Quality Assurance

Hallmarks serve as a trusted guarantee of quality, confirming that the silver meets official purity standards. When purchasing silver jewellery, a hallmark assures you of its authenticity and prevents the risk of buying counterfeit or lower-quality silver.
