What Are 925 Sterling Silver Chains?
A 925 silver chain is made from 92.5% pure silver, with the remaining 7.5% typically copper or other metals to enhance strength and durability. This alloy, known as 925 sterling silver, is widely used in fine jewelry due to its perfect balance of quality, beauty, and long-lasting wear.
Why 925?
- “925” is the international hallmark of sterling silver
- Stronger than pure silver (which is too soft for daily wear)
- Naturally bright, with a cool-toned luster
- Hypoallergenic and skin-friendly
Whether it’s your first silver chain or a new go-to accessory, a 925 sterling silver chain offers timeless elegance at an accessible price.
