What is 925 silver? Learn all about silver and its properties

You often ask us what 925 silver is and how it differs from pure silver.

925 silver is a high quality metal from which thousands of beautiful jewelry are made every day around the world. It consists of 92.5% pure silver and the remaining 7.5% is mainly copper or other metals.

The reason why silver is combined with other metals is because pure silver is very soft and elastic and makes jewelry difficult to make. It needs to be hardened and this is achieved by adding other metals such as copper.

In order to maintain the color in the silver jewelry for as long as possible, it needs care and attention. Any contact with chemicals or even our own pH causes wear and tear. That's why it's good to remove our jewelry when we come in contact with water and when we wear perfume or a care product.
