925 Silver Brussels: why does the jewelry brand Art’emi use this type of silver?
Metals precious such as thegold and silver are very used in jewelry. However, silver stands out as the best-selling metal due to its value for money. 925 silver is a hypoallergenic metal that combines with other metals like nickel, rhodium, or copper. Pure silver being too malleable, 925 silver is therefore preferred in jewelry. It has a silver content of 92.5% and the rest is a metal alloy. In some countries, it is also called Sterling Silver or Sterling Silver.
Artémi uses this alloy for its strength, quality, and durability. The jeweler is available to answer any questions you may have.
What is the difference between 925 silver and other types of silver used in jewelry?
Different types of silver exist besides sterling silver 925:
- First of all, there is 999 silver which is made up of 99.9% pure silver. It is rarely used in jewelry but rather for making ingots or coins.
- Then, there is 950 silver which has 95% silver and 5% alloy. This offers the highest silver content in jewelry, although it tarnishes faster than 925 silver.
- Finally, there is 800 silver which contains 80% pure silver. It generally contains 20% copper as a complement. 800 silver was widely used in the past to make various silver items such as silverware setssilverware.
To prevent oxidation, the jeweler Artémi applies a plating of rhodium which preserves the shine of the precious metal.
