Like gold, silver is a precious metal with a long history of application, with a history of more than 4,000 years.

Due to the unique and excellent properties of silver, people have given it a dual value of currency and decoration.

But I don’t know if you guys have noticed that when you buy silver jewelry, the words 999 silver, 990 silver and 925 silver will be engraved on the surface of silver jewelry. Do you know what these signs mean?

999 silver:

999 silver is the thousand-foot silver in jewelry, which can also be called sterling silver. The content is the numbers after the metal symbol, 999 is 99.9%.

Because it is too soft, it is not easy to cast into the desired jewelry shape, and it is easy to wear and oxidize and turn black, and the processing cost is too high, so it is not very suitable for jewelry production.

Mainly used in industry, but there are also some silver jewelry made of 999 silver.

990 silver:

990 silver refers to pure silver with a silver content of not less than 990 per thousand. Both 999 and 990 have high silver content and are relatively soft, so they are suitable for plain silver jewelry.

925 silver:

925 silver generally refers to silver products with a silver content of not less than 92.5%. Because silver with high purity is soft and easy to be oxidized, 925 silver is added with 7.5% copper alloy composition, in order to prevent silver from turning yellow and black under oxidation or vulcanization, it has ideal hardness and is convenient for post-production.

925 silver is a relatively mature process with silver content. It perfectly combines craftsmanship and purity, and can be better shaped, inlaid with various gems, and produced silver products with various shapes, which are more suitable for young fashionistas to wear.

990 silver and 999 silver are mainly aimed at those with sensitive skin, and are more suitable for children and the elderly to wear.
