Sterling Silver 92.5 — What It Is and Why It Matters

Not all silver jewelry is created equal.
When you see “92.5 Sterling Silver,” you’re looking at one of the most trusted standards in fine jewelry — a perfect blend of beauty and strength.

What Is 92.5 Sterling Silver?

Sterling silver is made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. Pure silver (99.9%) is too soft for crafting jewelry on its own, so this composition makes it more durable for everyday wear — without compromising on shine.

This blend is what gives your jewelry that unmistakable elegant finish and long-lasting quality.

Why Does the BIS Hallmark Matter?

In India, look for the BIS Hallmark, which certifies the purity and authenticity of silver. This isn’t a separate certificate — it’s an official engraving made directly on the product. It's your assurance that what you're wearing is real, tested, and trustworthy.

Benefits of Choosing Sterling Silver 92.5:

  • Long-lasting quality – great for daily use

  • Store in an airtight box to prevent tarnish

  • Keep away from water, perfumes, or harsh chemicals

  • Use a soft cloth to clean and maintain shine regularly

Whether you’re new to silver or a seasoned collector, knowing your jewelry is made from certified 92.5 silver makes all the difference.
