925 Sterling Silver Jewelry - Why Choose It To Other Supplies

Have you bought a 925 sterling silver jewellery and ever wonder what the number 925 mean? Or perhaps you bought your wife or girlfriend a designer silver jewellery with the word sterling attached to it? Many shoppers tend to ignore such things even the sales clerk who assisted you in your purchase wouldn’t even know. Or is it?. Sterling is derived from an Old English word which meant little star because money on that era was made of silver and a star symbol was usually stamped on them. The number 925 means that there is about 92. 5% of pure silver in any sterling silver item. The other 7. So what about the other 7. 5%? That would usually be another alloy and copper is the most commonly used metal for mixing.

So then you might wonder that the silver necklaces for women that you found in many jewellery stores are not made up of pure silver. Before you go running off to your jeweler and demand a refund for an “impure” silver ring, hear me out. Yes it is true that sterling silver is not really made of pure silver and there is a good explanation for that. Pure silver is mixed with an alloy because this precious metal is very hard to use since it is in a liquid form at that purity. In that case, forming it into a necklace would be a very big challenge.

Hence, many jewelers can shape the silver into many designs like necklaces, rings and even tableware. The other reason for the mixing is to make the silver more durable. Melting, sudden cooling and even hammering can make any metal quiver. As the purity of silver decreases, its reaction to tarnishing would increase. However there is a drawback to this mixing and that is in the form of oxygen. Copper is very susceptible to reacting with oxygen thus making your silver ring look black or murky. That is why many manufacturers are opting to use other alloys aside from copper to resist tarnishing but maintain its durability. But you should not worry though because your sterling silver findings can be easily cleaned when signs of tarnishing are seen and maintenance is very easy to do.

But you don’t have to worry because preventing and removing tarnished spots are very easy to do. If you are planning on buying a new silver necklace for the wife, then you know what it means when the sales clerk will tell that the necklace is sterling.
