925 Sterling Silver

what is 925 silver?

925 silver, also known as sterling silver, is an alloy composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. Pure silver is too soft to create durable and functional pieces of jewelry or silverware. Therefore, 925 silver is used to create silver jewelry, silverware and other decorative items that are both durable and beautiful.

The use of 925 silver in jewelry is prevalent, and it is often stamped "925" to identify its degree of purity. The stamping ensures that customers are purchasing authentic 925 silver jewelry pieces. The remaining 7.5% of other metals, such as copper, is added to improve the silver's durability and strength.

Copper, in particular, is commonly used in the alloy because it increases the strength and hardness of the silver, making it easier to create intricate designs. In addition, copper gives the alloy a warm, luxurious look that is highly prized in jewelry.

Thanks to the added copper, 925 silver is less prone to tarnish than pure silver. However, it can tarnish over time due to exposure to moisture, air and other environmental factors. Regular cleaning and polishing can help 925 silver retain its best appearance.

In summary, 925 silver is an alloy widely used in jewelry and other decorative items. It is composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper, to increase its strength and durability. It is stamped "925" to identify its degree of purity and is less prone to tarnish than pure silver.
