What is Sterling Silver or 925?

Sterling Silver, also known as 925, consists of 92.5% pure silver, with the remaining 7.5% made up of an alloy. This combination is necessary because pure silver is too soft for use in jewellery. It is combined with an alloy (usually copper) to make it stronger for use in jewellery designs.

Will sterling silver tarnish?

Sterling silver will tarnish over time simply due to exposure to the air. Cleaning with a silver polishing cloth will return the item to its original condition. Many pieces of modern sterling silver jewellery have a rhodium coating, which is invisible to the naked eye but keeps sterling silver jewellery from tarnishing.

How do I know my jewellery is really sterling silver?

Genuine sterling silver is stamped "925", indicating it consists of the above formula.
