925 sterling silver - a guide to real silver

Sterling silver, or 925 sterling silver, is more than just a metal, it is a symbol of timeless beauty and durability in jewelry making. At Nude Stockholm, this precious material is the core of our passion for creating unique and timeless jewelry. We use recycled 925 sterling silver, purchased from Swedish suppliers, to demonstrate our commitment to both quality and durability.

What is 925 sterling silver?

925 silver, often called sterling silver, is a metal alloy consisting of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This alloy makes the silver harder and more durable than pure silver, which is ideal for jewelry making. 925 silver is the standard grade of silver used in jewelry and is often stamped with the number 925 to indicate high quality jewelry. Its unique luster and processing possibilities make it a favorite choice for designers and craftsmen like us.

Advantages of 925 sterling silver:

• Durability: Sterling silver is known for its durability and ability to withstand the test of time.
• Timeless Beauty: Its timeless beauty makes it a perfect material for special occasions.
• Adaptability: Suitable for a variety of jewelry designs and styles.

Disadvantages of 925 sterling silver:

• Oxidation: Can oxidize and darken over time if not cared for properly.
• Susceptibility to Damage: Although durable, it can be scratched and damaged with heavy use.
