FAQs: Silver Bracelets

How do I know if a silver bracelet is genuine?

A fully hallmarked bracelet, like ours, confirms that it has passed official UK assay testing, verifying its silver content and purity.

What does 925 mean on silver jewellery?

The 925 stamp signifies that the jewellery is made from sterling silver, containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals for strength and durability.

Is sterling silver suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, sterling silver is durable and ideal for everyday wear. However, proper care, such as avoiding exposure to chemicals, ensures its longevity.

How should I clean my silver bracelet?

Use a soft cloth and a silver polishing solution to maintain its shine. Storing it in a tarnish-resistant pouch can also help prevent oxidation.

Can sterling silver tarnish?

Yes, sterling silver can tarnish over time due to exposure to air and moisture, but regular cleaning will restore its shine.

Understanding Silver & 925 Hallmarking

Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver, with the remaining 7.5% made up of other metals, usually copper, to enhance strength and durability. The 925 hallmark signifies this purity level. In the UK, hallmarking is essential for ensuring authenticity, as simply stamping ‘925’ does not guarantee that the item has undergone the required assay process.

Why is Hallmarking Important?

• Confirms the purity of the silver alloy.
• Identifies the silversmith or company that crafted the item.
• May indicate the date and location of manufacture.
• Helps prevent counterfeit silver jewellery from being misrepresented.

FAQs: Sterling Silver

Is all 925 silver hallmarked?

No, not all 925 silver is hallmarked. A hallmark ensures that the silver has been officially tested and meets UK standards.

Does 925 silver turn green?

Sterling silver itself does not turn green, but it may tarnish. Green discolouration usually results from skin reactions to the small amount of copper in the alloy.

Is sterling silver better than pure silver?

Yes, as pure silver is too soft for jewellery, sterling silver (925) is a stronger, more practical alternative while maintaining high purity.

Can I wear sterling silver in water?

While sterling silver can be worn in water, prolonged exposure to moisture can accelerate tarnishing. Dry it thoroughly after contact with water.

The Assurance of Hallmarking

Hallmarks provide a layer of confidence in the quality and authenticity of silver jewellery. By choosing fully hallmarked sterling silver, you ensure that your piece has been tested to meet stringent UK standards.
