What Is 925 Sterling Silver?
925 sterling silver refers to an alloy containing 92.5% silver by weight. For commercial buyers, material claims are only one part of supplier due diligence.
What 925 means
Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% silver by weight. The remaining portion is other metal used to create a workable jewelry alloy.
Does a 925 stamp prove composition?
A stamp is a marking, not an independent laboratory result. For commercial sourcing, combine markings with supplier documentation and testing appropriate to your risk and market.
Plating and finish
Sterling silver can be sold polished or with finishes such as rhodium or gold plating. Specify finish and plating expectations when comparing samples.
Buying wholesale
Material purity is only one purchasing criterion. Also evaluate construction, finish, stones, dimensions, packaging, consistency and supplier terms.
