Introduction
When buying silver jewellery, you often notice a small stamp that reads “925”. Many buyers wonder what it really means and whether 925 sterling silver is worth buying.
This blog explains what 925 sterling silver is, how to identify original silver jewellery, and why it is one of the best choices for Indian buyers looking for durability, beauty, and value.
What Does 925 Mean in Silver Jewellery?
925 sterling silver means the jewellery contains:
-
92.5% pure silver
-
7.5% alloy metals (usually copper)
Pure silver (99.9%) is very soft and bends easily. Adding alloy makes the jewellery strong, durable, and suitable for daily wear. This is why 925 sterling silver is the international standard for high-quality silver jewellery.
Why Is 925 Sterling Silver Better Than Pure Silver?
Pure silver looks beautiful but is not practical for regular use. 925 sterling silver offers:
-
Better strength
-
Long-lasting shine
-
Strong stone settings
-
Modern design flexibility
That’s why most rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are made using 925 silver instead of pure silver.
How to Identify Original 925 Sterling Silver Jewellery?
You can identify real 925 silver jewellery by:
-
Checking for a 925 or SS925 stamp
-
Feeling the weight (real silver feels solid)
-
Doing a magnet test (silver is non-magnetic)
-
Buying from a trusted jewellery store
At Silver Ocean, all jewellery is crafted using authentic 925 sterling silver, ensuring quality and trust.
Does 925 Sterling Silver Turn Black?
Yes, silver can turn slightly black over time due to oxidation. This happens when silver reacts with air, moisture, or chemicals.
✔️ This is normal
✔️ This does not mean fake silver
✔️ Proper cleaning restores the shine easily
Is 925 Sterling Silver Safe for Sensitive Skin?
925 sterling silver is:
-
Hypoallergenic

Nickel-free
