What is 925 silver or sterling silver?
Silver is a highly soft, pliable metal that takes a very high polish and is similar in composition and character to gold and copper. Even though it lacks gold’s hardness, it still has a lot of uses, particularly when alloyed with other metals to increase its hardness.
One of the seven ancient metals that were familiar to people in the past—the others being gold, copper, tin, lead, iron, and mercury—is silver. Its history of discovery and early use is unknown because it has been in use for such a long time. It is a more reactive metal than gold and is more difficult to harvest from its ore.
As a result, silver was scarcer and more expensive in antiquity until the Egyptians developed new techniques for refining it around 1500 BC.
Since gold is more uncommon in nature and more challenging to mine in large quantities, it is currently much more valuable than silver. Sterling silver: is it truly silver? Yes, without a doubt, is the answer. Simple alloyed silver, such as sterling silver, is far more appropriate for use in jewellery and other works.
99.9% of silver is fine silver. Although the metal is attractive and tarnishes very little in this state, it is typically too soft and malleable for many applications, including the majority of silver jewellery.
Sterling silver, which is made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper, is created by alloying fine silver with copper. Because of this amount of fine silver, sterling silver is occasionally referred to as “925 silver” or hallmarked with a 925 stamp.
