What Is Sterling Silver?

Pure silver is a very soft, malleable white precious metal. The sterling silver used to make jewelry contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% of other alloys to give silver the hardness it requires to be useful. This formula is why sterling silver is called 925 Sterling Silver or just 925 Silver. All our silver jewelry is made using .925 Sterling Silver and is stamped with .925 to indicate the metal type and the silver content.
