925 Sterling Silver

925 sterling silver is composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other alloying metals, most commonly copper. Thanks to its natural brilliance and refined tone, it is widely used in both classic and contemporary jewelry designs, giving each piece an elegant and precious appearance.

Why did we choose 925 sterling silver for this design?
This design required fine detailing and precise stone settings. The workability of 925 sterling silver makes it ideal for creating delicate settings, graceful curves, and slim profiles in stone-set designs.

Much like brass, sterling silver offers excellent flexibility during production, allowing us to preserve the original character of the design while creating a refined and durable piece.

Plating and Durability
925 sterling silver may naturally oxidize and tarnish over time. This is a normal chemical process.

To enhance its shine and improve resistance to tarnishing, sterling silver jewelry is often finished with rhodium plating. Rhodium plating adds extra brilliance while creating an additional protective layer against oxidation. If needed, the plating can be professionally renewed over time.

Care Instructions
To help preserve the appearance of your jewelry:

• Keep it away from prolonged exposure to moisture, perfume, and chemicals.
• Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to help maintain its shine.
• For light tarnishing, a silver polishing cloth or a gentle silver cleaner may be used.
• For deeper scratches or heavier oxidation, professional cleaning or replating is recommended.

In Short
Thanks to its suitability for detailed craftsmanship and stone setting, 925 sterling silver allows the design to achieve both an elegant and high-quality appearance. With proper plating and regular care, it can be enjoyed for many years.
