Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sterling Silver ?
Sterling Silver is a mixture of 92.5% pure silver & 7.5% copper. The very small amount of copper gives the metal enough strength & hardness to be made into jewellery.

What does 925 means?
925 in the international standard for sterling silver. All precious metals use the same standard which indicates the amount of pure metal in the alloy. For example 9ct gold is 375 parts per thousand or 37.5% gold. Sterling silver is 925 parts per thousand or 92.5% silver. This makes sterling silver a much purer metal than its gold rival. It is the 62.5% copper in 9ct gold which makes it pink.

What is Oxidized Silver ?
A lot of beautiful jewellery is produced from the oxidized silver these days which is unique in color and look. Oxidized silver is produced when atomic oxygen reacts with silver. Silver reacts fast upon exposure to oxygen and air and so develops an "antique" appearance. To speed up this process silversmiths use chemical solutions and treat silver until they have achieved the expected shade of black.
