Sterling silver jewelry is a popular choice for jewelry collectors and designers. Sterling silver jewelry consists of 92.5% silver content, making it a timeless and durable metal. Jewelry sets made of sterling silver purchased from a reputable jeweler or jewelry brand can last for a lifetime if properly cared for.

The cost of silver is determined by the world market price of the metal on the date the price is assessed. The cost of silver is subject to change on a daily basis.

The only difference is the impurity. Fine silver is 99.9% pure silver. But sterling silver is 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% copper. That’s why sterling silver is sometimes referred to as “925 silver” or stamped with a 925 hallmark.
