What is 925 Sterling Silver?

925 sterling silver is what people sometimes call solid silver. That's true but not technically correct if you're a stickler for detail.

Pure sterling silver is very soft and not durable enough for jewellery, so 925 sterling silver means the piece contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper for strength.

You can find the hallmark '925' stamped somewhere discrete on genuine silver jewellery. If you look very closely at our hoops and ear hooks, you'll see the 925 stamp - it's tiny, so pop your glasses on!

Our sterling silver is hypoallergenic, nickel and lead-free. Lovely for those sensitive ears.

All our sterling silver components are made from 100% recycled silver, certified by United Precious Metal Refining Inc.
