When shopping for silver jewelry, you’ll often see the hallmark “925” stamped on pieces. But what does 925 mean, and why does it matter?

What Is 925 Sterling Silver?

925 sterling silver means the jewelry is made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper). This composition is the international standard for sterling silver. Pure silver (999) is too soft for everyday jewelry, so the alloy makes it durable while keeping its beautiful shine.

How to Identify Genuine 925 Silver

• Look for the “925” hallmark stamped inside rings or on clasps
• Genuine silver will not be magnetic
• Real silver tarnishes naturally over time — this is a sign of authenticity
• Buy from certified Turkish artisans with proper documentation
