Why We Choose Silver 925
We explain the charm of "Silver 925," often seen when choosing jewelry, in an easy-to-understand way.
01. What is Silver 925?
Silver 925 is a high-quality material containing 92.5% "real silver". The remaining 7.5% is mixed with copper and other metals to give it the optimal strength for jewelry.
In fact, 100% pure silver is too soft and scratches easily. For this reason, this "925" golden ratio is widely used as a standard by high-end jewelry brands around the world.
02. Difference from Pure Silver (S999)
| Comparison | Silver 925 | Pure Silver (S999) |
|---|---|---|
| Silver percentage | 92.5% | 99.9% |
| Durability (scratch resistance) | ◎ Strong (suitable for daily use) | △ Very soft |
| Ease of daily use | ◎ Can be worn without worry | ○ Requires careful handling |
| Shine characteristics | Subtle, elegant luster | Bright, transparent white |
Pure silver (S999) is beautiful and white, but very delicate. If you want to wear it daily, Silver 925 is overwhelmingly recommended for its durability.
03. 3 Features of Silver 925
① Mature luster that beautifies the skin
It radiates an elegant and refined glow without being overly flashy. It elevates any outfit, from casual to elegant.
② "Lifelong" item with no plating concerns
Unlike "plated products" where silver is coated on a cheap alloy, it is real silver through and through. There is no cheapness of the surface peeling off to expose the brass inside, and it can be cherished for many years.
③ "Aging" that grows into your own color
It gradually develops a deeper texture with use. Even if it tarnishes, it's easy to restore its clear shine by polishing it with a cloth.
