What Is 925 Sterling Silver?

Pure silver is usually too soft for jewelry meaning that it will scratch easily. It is therefore alloyed (mixed with other metals) to improve its durability. Sterling silver is the world’s most popular silver alloy. It consists of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. It is excellent for jewelry because it preserves the colour, lustre and heft of pure silver and vastly improves its durability!
