• .925
.925 means that the alloy is 92.5% Silver and 7.5% alloy. The alloy is usually copper, because copper increases the metals durability without sacrificing color. There is a silver & alloy mix because pure silver is too soft. Sterling Silver is the most popular, and common form of silver jewelry.
