What is 925 Silver

The highest quality silver for jewelry is called Sterling Silver or 925 Silver. It is called 925 Silver because it is 92.5% pure silver. The other 7.5% is another metal (typically copper) that helps strengthen and stabilize the metal.

Is pure silver better?

For jewelry, 925 silver is far better. Pure silver is also known as fine silver and it is not as good for making jewelry for several reasons:

- Pure silver is not ductile meaning it does not reform or adjust to fit into jewelry as easily
- Pure silver is soft and therefore less functional
- Pure silver tarnishes from combining with small amounts of hydrogen sulfide in the air

How is it Stamped?

Typically, 925 silver is punched with a mark "925", "S925", or "Sterling". Not all 925 silver is marked, so you may need to consult the vendor to ensure quality and purity. If a piece of silver is not marked, the jewelry often can only be electroplated with silver, which makes its value much lower than 925 silver. Metal lovers or reputable jewelry sellers can confirm the purity of the silver by metering or by applying chemical tests to the metal. Silver purity test kits can also be purchased and tested at home.

What is 925 Silver for Jewelry?

Simply put, it is the purest form of silver for making jewelry that maintains its beauty over time. Because it is a stable alloy, it won't tarnish over time. It is more workable by jewelry adjusters. 925 silver will not bleed out or shed on your skin when you wear it.
