Is S925 Sterling Silver Real?
Sterling silver, also known as 925 sterling silver, is a metal alloy used in jewelry. Traditionally, it is 92.5% silver (Ag), and 7.5% copper (Cu). Pure silver is naturally very soft, and would easily bend or break if used for jewelry without being blended with a stronger metal. Copper is the best metal, especially for those with sensitive skin.
