What is 925 Sterling Silver?

Sterling Silver Superfine Ring with Gemstone and Rope design

Made to last: 925 Sterling Silver

925 sterling silver is a popular choice for jewellery because of its durability and how well holds fine details. 

Since pure silver is very soft meaning it can bend and break easily, 925 sterling silver is made from 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. This composition provides a good amount of durability, making it ideal for jewellery that lasts.
