What does "925" mean on jewelry?

When you are out there shopping for jewelry, you may have noticed pieces of jewelry bearing small stamps that read “925.” But, what does 925 on jewelry mean? This article will explain what it means particularly when used in the context of the silver pieces sold by retailers such as Pompeii3.

Understanding 925 Stamp

This mark on the jewelry denotes that it is made of sterling silver. It is an alloy composed of

• 92.5 percent pure silver
• 7.5 percent typically consisting of other metals such as copper

Since pure silver can be too soft for practical jewelry use, sterling silver was created by mixing other metals to form more durable and wearable materials.

Sterling silver ornaments have for a long time been used due to their beauty and cheapness and thus have been the common material used in the production of rings, bracelets, and all sorts of necklaces. Also at Pompeii3, there are sterling silver products that are not only of high quality but are also very beautiful for you to select from.

How Much Sterling Silver Jewelry Costs

Jewellery made of sterling silver with the mark “925” is especially valuable because it is pure and at the same time rather enduring. Not only is sterling hardy to damage, but it gleams a wonderful shine that can complement both informal and formal wear – fancy thin cross pendants or simple gold chains; sterling silver never fades!

Pompeii3 understands the significance of providing jewelry that combines style and longevity, so our selection features various 925 sterling silver pieces designed to satisfy our customers' varied preferences.

Why the 925 Mark Matters

When purchasing jewelry with this mark, you can be assured that its content contains at least 92.5 percent pure silver - providing value and longevity over its lifespan. This assurance of quality is especially critical in items designed for long-term wear such as wedding bands or engagement rings that need to remain high quality throughout its existence.

However, while sterling silver may most often be associated with its hallmarking, it's essential to realize that some jewelry may incorporate both elements - for instance combining silver with other metals such as gold. An engagement ring made from this combination could feature a sterling silver band or settings as an added layer of beauty and strength in its design.
