Sterling Silver Jewelry

One of the best recommended metals for setting gemstones, sterling silver is durable for crystals too. Before you pick your favorite sterling silver, let us learn a bit about it.

What Is Sterling Silver?

A noble metal often used to make jewelry, sterling silver is a white metal that conducts electricity and heat. The metal is durable, but tarnishes easily when kept exposed in air. Being highly malleable, it is easy to make ornate jewelry with sterling silver.

Silver Vs 925 Sterling Silver

While silver is not readily available with 100% purity for making jewelry, alloys are mixed with it to make the metal sturdy enough. Hallmark silver is made with 92.5% purity of silver and other alloys such as nickel, zinc or copper. This is called 925 sterling silver. The highest purity of silver jewelry is 925 sterling silver or sterling silver. Any low purity of silver is not sterling silver.

If your jeweler does not disclose the information about the silver it is made from, look for numbers like 925. Jewelry without 925 hallmark is ordinary silver without a standard concentration of silver.
