Silver is the new gold of this modern era. Silver jewellery has gained massive popularity these days due to its diversified jewellery design and range. Modern silver jewellery is the perfect combination of traditional and contemporary designs. In old days women used to wear silver jewellery symbolically but these days women are buying silver as statement jewellery and Indian fashion jewellery. There is a new form of silver that gaining pace in the jewellery market and it is 925 sterling silver. But what is sterling silver? Let’s have a look.
925 Sterling Silver Jewellery
Sterling silver is an alloy made with a combination of 92.5% silver and 7.5% another alloy. Sterling silver is commonly named 925 sterling silver. Alloy is typically a mixture of two elements taken from the periodic table. In the case of sterling silver, this alloy can be copper, zinc or nickel. This silver is gaining admiration because of its flexibility to turn into zillions of designs. With pure silver, there are limited options in jewellery designs because pure silver is very soft. Adding alloy in pure silver hardens it and makes it more durable and long-lasting making them suitable for jewellery, utensils and antique silverware. 925 silver jewellery has a beautiful metallic shine. But the market is full of fake jewellery imitating the exact silver appearance so it is important to identify the original 925 sterling silver jewellery. The easiest way to identify purity is to look for hallmarks on the jewellery. Certified hallmark labels that can be seen stamped on the jewellery are ‘SS’, ‘STG, and ‘STER’. Some original 925 sterling silver jewellery is stamped as ‘sterling’ or ‘925’.
