What is 925 Sterling Silver?

Currently 925 Sterling Silver Rings are used for wedding, anniversary day, party, daily wear, gift, and so on. 925 sterling silver is a combination of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% of another metal. Fine silver (99.9% pure) is generally too soft and malleable for jewelry. Therefore, it is usually combined with copper to give it strength, while at the same time preserving both the ductility and beauty of its original form. It can be better shaped, inlaid with various gemstones, and produced silver products with various shapes, bright colors, unique styles and exquisite craftsmanship. The density of silver is slightly higher than that of common metals. Aluminum is light, silver is heavy, and copper is neither light nor heavy. Therefore, weighing the weight can make a preliminary judgment on whether it is silver. If the jewelry is large in size and light in weight, it can be preliminarily judged that the jewelry belongs to other metals.
