S925 Sterling Silver

What Does "S925" Mean?

"S925" is stamped on sterling silver to indicate that the item contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper.

This blend is used because pure silver (which is 99.9% silver) is too soft for everyday wear—adding other metals makes it more durable.

 

Hypoallergenic: Usually safe for sensitive skin, especially when nickel-free.

Tarnish-Resistant: Can tarnish slightly over time but is easy to clean and polish back to shine.

Shiny & Elegant: Has a bright, white-metal look that resembles white gold or platinum.
