Silver Jewellery Guide

What 92.5 (925) silver means

Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, mixed with a little copper so it is strong enough to be worn every day. Pure silver on its own is too soft for jewellery. The mark 925 on a piece tells you its purity.

Gold-tone and plated finishes

Many silver designs have a warm gold-tone finish. The silver underneath stays 92.5; the finish is a thin layer on top, so treat it gently and keep it away from perfume, water and harsh rubbing.

Keeping silver bright

• Put jewellery on last, after perfume, lotion and hairspray
• Take it off before bathing, swimming and exercise
• Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wearing
• Store each piece separately in a dry pouch or box; an anti-tarnish pouch helps
• If it dulls, a silver polishing cloth brings the shine back. Avoid polishing gold-tone finishes hard
