Sterling silver, often referred to as 925 sterling silver, is an alloy made from 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. Pure silver (99.9%) is too soft to be used in jewellery on its own, which is why it's alloyed with other metals to improve its strength and durability. The addition of copper or other metals enhances its longevity without compromising its beautiful luster.
