About Our Silver / Materials
What 925 Silver Jewellery is made of
A clear explanation of the materials, purity and finish used in our jewellery.
1. What is 925 sterling silver?
925 sterling silver is a high-quality silver alloy that contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper) to give strength and durability.
Pure silver (99.9%) is very soft and not suitable for daily-wear jewellery, which is why 925 sterling silver is used worldwide as the standard.
2. Metals we do not use
We do not use low-grade base metals like brass for our silver jewellery. Our focus is on genuine 925 silver pieces designed for long-term use.
3. Plating & surface finish
Some pieces may have additional plating (for tone and protection), such as:
- Rhodium plating – for a bright, white-silver shine
- Yellow / Rose gold plating – for a gold-toned look on top of silver
- Protective E-coating – to slow down tarnishing and improve life
Details about plating are mentioned in the product specifications wherever applicable.
4. Stones & embellishments
Depending on the design, we may use:
- High-quality CZ (cubic zirconia) stones
- Synthetic coloured stones
- AAA grade crystals
Stone type and colour are described in each product listing, wherever relevant.
5. Skin-friendliness
Our jewellery is nickel-free and lead-free, making it suitable for most sensitive skin types. However, if you have a known metal allergy, please contact us before placing an order.
