925 Sterling Silver vs Pure Silver: What’s the difference?

When shopping for silver jewellery, you’ll often come across two terms: pure silver and 925 sterling silver. So, what’s the difference?

Pure Silver

Pure silver contains about 99.9% silver. It is naturally soft and can scratch or bend more easily, making it less practical for detailed, everyday jewellery.

925 Sterling Silver

925 sterling silver contains 92.5% silver, with the remaining 7.5% typically made from other metals to improve strength and durability. This makes it a popular choice for jewellery that is designed to be worn regularly.

Which One Is Better?

For most jewellery lovers, 925 sterling silver offers a great balance of beauty, durability, and everyday wearability.
