What Does it Mean When your Jewelry Says ".925"?
Do you have a piece of jewelry that is stamped with a mark that says "925" and your wondering what it means?
Is it just a random number or does it hold some significance in the world of jewelry? As it turns out, that small but mighty number is actually a mark of quality and authenticity. In order for a piece of jewelry to be labeled as sterling silver, it must contain at least 92.5% pure silver, with the remaining 7.5% being made up of other metals for added strength and durability. This .925 stamp is a symbol of the craftsmanship and care that goes into creating high-quality jewelry. So the next time you see that number on your favorite necklace or ring, you can be sure that you are wearing a piece of jewelry that is not only beautiful but also made to last.
