MATERIAL

925/- sterling silver is a high-quality silver alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals (mostly copper). This admixture makes the material more stable and durable, as pure silver would be too soft for jewelry.

The blackening of silver is usually achieved by targeted chemical oxidation or sulfidation of the surface. This creates a dark layer of silver sulfide, which gives the jewelry its characteristic black hue.

Gilding involves coating sterling silver with a fine layer of real gold. This gives the jewelry the elegant appearance of gold, but it remains more affordable and retains the advantages of the stable silver core.
