The highest quality silver for jewelry is called Sterling Silver or 925 Silver. It is called 925 silver because it is 92.5% pure silver. The other 7.5% is another metal (typically copper), which helps strengthen and stabilize the metal.
Is pure silver better?
For jewelry, 925 silver is far better. Pure silver is also known as fine silver and it is not as good for making jewelry for seberal reasons:
-pure silver is not ductile, meaning it can't be easily formed into jewelry or adjusted to fit
-pure silver is soft, making it less functional
-pure silver will mix with small amounts of hydrogen sulfide in air and will tarnish
How 925 Silver stamped?
Typically 925 silver will be stamped with a "925", "Sterling", or "Ster" marking. The quality and purity is assured. Often, if a silver item is not marked, this means that the jewelry may only be electroplated with silver- which makes its value much lower than 925 silver. Metallurgists or reputable jewelry dealers may be able to comfirm the purity of the silver by measuring or by applying chemical tests to the metal. Purity test kits for silver can also be purchased and tested at home.
