What is 925 silver?

925 silver is a precious metal composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals to make it harder. 925 silver can also be called sterling silver or solid silver 925. It is more resistant and durable than pure silver, which is softer and subject to scratching and twisting. Silver 925 is also easier for jewelers to work with, enabling them to create more complex designs. 925 silver jewelry also has the advantage of being hypoallergenic, so it won't cause skin reactions in most people. Finally, 925 silver is a precious metal that retains its value over time.

What is 999 silver?

999 silver is a highly refined form of precious metal, containing 99.9% pure silver. Unlike 925 silver, which includes 7.5% of other metals to reinforce its hardness, 999 silver is almost entirely silver. This gives it superior softness and malleability, making it ideal for jewelry projects requiring great precision and delicacy. However, its high purity also makes it more susceptible to scratches and deformation. Although less common in everyday jewelry because of its delicacy, 999 silver remains a preferred choice for high-quality collectors' pieces and artistic creations.

What's the difference between 925 silver and rhodium-plated silver?

We also have findings in rhodium-plated 925 silver, whose surface is coated with a protective layer of rhodium, a component of platinum, which prevents oxidation of the agent, for jewelry that shines longer! Generally speaking, rhodium-plated silver is darker in color than conventional 925 silver (aged silver), but will retain all its brilliance.
