In the jewelry world, 925 silver is a frequently encountered term, but what does it really mean? Why is it so valuable and what distinguishes it from other types of silver?
At Dicomo, we are passionate about offering quality jewelry, and 925 silver is a fundamental component in our collection. Let's discover together the meaning behind this precious metal.
The Composition of 925 Silver
925 silver, also known as sterling silver, is a silver alloy that contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This combination gives 925 silver exceptional strength and durability, making it a popular choice for creating high-quality jewelry.
The Seal of Authenticity
When you purchase 925 silver jewelry from Dicomo, you can be sure that you are receiving authentic, quality products. Most sterling silver jewelry carries a distinctive hallmark or mark indicating its purity. In the case of 925 silver, you will likely find the "925" stamp engraved on the jewelry, confirming its authenticity and quality.
Symbolism of 925 Silver
In addition to its practical value, 925 silver also carries with it a special symbolism. Silver is said to have protective and healing properties in various cultures. It represents the Moon, feminine and receptive, in contrast to the Sun, which symbolizes the masculine and active. Silver is associated with intuition, clairvoyance and purification.
Care and Maintenance of 925 Silver
To preserve the beauty of your 925 silver jewelry, it is essential to properly care for it. Storing them in a dry place, avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, and cleaning them regularly are recommended practices.
