925 silver
It's important to understand what 925 silver is. It's an alloy of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This mixture gives 925 silver greater strength and durability than pure silver, while retaining its lustre and beauty. This makes 925 silver the material of choice for quality jewelry.
Rhodium-plated 925 silver, slightly darker in color than non-rhodium-plated silver, is appreciated for its many qualities. It is resistant to tarnish and oxidation, which means that jewelry made with rhodium-plated 925 silver primers will retain their lustre and beauty for a long time to come.
What's more, 925 silver is hypoallergenic, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin or metal allergies. Last but not least, this material is easy to work with, facilitating the creation of intricate and detailed jewelry and findings.
