Fun facts about 92.5% STERLING SILVER JEWELRY:

STERLING SILVER

By law sterling must be 925 parts pure silver and 75 parts alloy, usually copper, which provides the strength and hardness as pure silver is soft. Silver can be hammered into sheets so thin that 100,000 of these stacked sheets would measure just an inch and can be drawn into a wire finer than a human hair. Sterling may be the most hygienic metal - with actual germ-killing properties and it is through use and gradual accumulation of microscopic scratches that sterling achieves its lustrous patina.

How to Clean Sterling Silver .925 Jewelry

Silver is beautiful and valuable. Among its many metal properties, it is relatively soft and malleable that makes it an ideal candidate for jewelry crafting. However, pure silver is too soft and easily scratched. It is most common for silversmiths to combine silver with other metals to create a more durable alloy.

Sterling silver, containing 92.5% of silver and 7.5% of other metal, is the most popular alloy in today’s silver jewelry market. Sterling silver can be identified by the “.925” mark (the stamp denoting 92.5% silver) or “sterling” on the jewelry.
