925 Silver Archives

What is 925 Silver?

Simply put, 925 silver means that an item is made from sterling silver. Sterling silver itself is an alloy (mixture of metals) containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals, usually copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925. In other words, for every 1,000 parts of metal, at least 925 need to be pure silver.

Silver is a very soft metal, which is why it is best used as an alloy combined with another metal, especially where jewellery is concerned.

All sterling silver jewellery supplied by Alfred & Co. Jewellery is made from premium sterling silver and hallmarked by the London Goldsmith Assay office to assure its authenticity.
