.925 Sterling Silver Body Jewelry

What is .925 Sterling Silver? .925 (92.5%)  is the percantage of pure silver in the jewelry and 7.5% some other material – usually copper. That doesnt mean Sterling Silver isnt good as pure silver, because that 7.5% of copper is to add stability and firmness to a particular design.
So there you go… next time you’re shopping for some new jewelry, or buying an anniversary gift for your girlfriend / wife, you will understand exactly what the salesperson means when they say “This is sterling silver”… even if they don’t.
