What does 925 mean on a silver ring?

925 on a silver ring means 92.5% pure silver – this is the official sterling silver standard. This stamp guarantees that the piece is genuine, alloyed silver – suitable for skin contact and durable for everyday wear.

Other Silver Hallmarks

• 925 / Sterling: 92.5% silver – standard for everyday jewelry
• 800: 80% silver – older standard, less common in modern jewelry
• 999: 99.9% pure silver – too soft for jewelry, more for bullion

No Hallmark?

No 925 hallmark = no proof of quality. The piece could be silver-plated base metal. Reputable dealers guarantee the hallmark on every piece.

Where to Find the Hallmark?

• On rings: Inside surface of the ring
• On chains: On the clasp or a small jump ring
• On stud earrings: On the post or setting
