925 sterling silver

925 sterling silver is a silver alloy cast with a silver content of 925 parts per mille (92.5%). This alloy is stronger and easier to process than pure silver, and has a unique luster and color that is more subdued than pure silver.

The discoloration caused by sulfidation, which is unique to silver, can be seen in both pure silver and silver alloys, but sterling silver 925 is less susceptible to sulfidation than pure silver and other silver alloys, which is one of the reasons why it is popular for use in jewelry and ornaments such as accessories.

Another reason silver is so popular is that it can be used for a long time with proper maintenance.
