Pure silver, known as fine silver, is typically 99.9% silver. However, it is important to note that pure silver is quite soft and malleable, making it less suitable for everyday jewelry items that need
950 silver = 95% pure silver + 5% alloy, 925 silver = 92.5% pure silver + 7.5% alloy. It is easy to oxidize, and 925 silver is affordable. When buying silver jewelry, please check the purity mark.
925 silver, or sterling silver, is relatively inexpensive due to its composition of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, which lowers its cost while maintaining its quality and beauty.
