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 you buy jewellery with this mark, you can rest assured that it is at least 92.5% pure silver, and it ensures value far beyond its present price tag. This quality guarantee is of the utmost importance, particularly because an item like a wedding band or engagement ring should be of high quality throughout its life.

But, although sterling silver is most commonly associated with hallmarking, it’s important to remember that some jewellery may include both of these factors. If an engagement ring were crafted from this composite, it might also have a sterling silver band or setting to provide a further layer of strength and beauty to the design.
