A Note About Our Jewellery

Pure silver is extremely malleable and therefore can easily damage. It also softens over time, even at room temperature. In this state silver is useless for jewellery purposes. To avoid the problems of malleability and softening, and thus to increase the life-span of your silver jewellery, other metals are added to the pure silver.

925 sterling silver jewellery is actually a combination of 92.5% silver and usually 7.5% copper. The addition of copper, or occasionally a similar copper-like substitute, helps to enhance your silver jewellery and does not in any way detract from its quality. It is widely accepted that this is the highest purity of silver possible whilst retaining the strength required for general use.

Over 90% of our jewellery is 925 silver and will be so unless stated otherwise.

Remember that the 925 hallmark is an assurance to you that your silver is of the highest quality.
