Sterling silver 925 is one of the most widely used materials in quality jewelry. It offers the beauty of silver with the strength needed for everyday wear, making it ideal for rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and meaningful pieces designed to last.
All our pieces have 925 and Lisver mark. Where can you find them?
If you have ever looked closely at fine silver jewelry, you may have seen the mark 925 stamped on the piece.
All Lisver pieces have been verified and marked with the 925 Sterling silver and Lisver stamp according to the Spanish law at a Precious Metals Verification and Testing Laboratory SAVECO.
In our rings and bracelets and pendants you can find the hallmarks on the outside. In our earrings and chains you get a non-precious metal plate bearing the 925 sterling silver guarantee mark and our manufacturer's mark.
What does 925 mean?
The number 925 means that the metal contains 92.5% pure silver. The remaining 7.5% is usually made up of other metals, most commonly copper, which gives the silver greater strength and durability.
Pure silver is naturally beautiful, but it is also very soft. If jewelry were made from 100% pure silver, it could bend, scratch or lose its shape more easily. By combining silver with a small percentage of other metals, sterling silver becomes more suitable for finely crafted jewelry.
Is sterling silver real silver?
Yes. Sterling silver is real silver. The difference is that it has been strengthened to make it more practical for jewelry.
This is why sterling silver is considered a precious metal and is commonly used by jewelry brands around the world. It has the glow, elegance and value of silver, while offering better resistance for daily use.
Does sterling silver tarnish?
Yes, sterling silver can tarnish naturally over time. Tarnish is a surface reaction that may appear as a darker or duller layer. It can happen when silver is exposed to air, humidity, perfumes, lotions, sweat or chemicals.
Tarnishing does not mean that the jewelry is poor quality. In fact, it is a normal characteristic of genuine sterling silver. With proper care and occasional polishing, the original shine can usually be restored. You can see how to take care of our Sterling Silver 925.
Sterling silver vs silver-plated jewelry
Sterling silver is different from silver-plated jewelry.
Silver-plated jewelry has only a thin layer of silver over another base metal. Over time, that layer can wear off and reveal the metal underneath.
Sterling silver 925, on the other hand, is silver throughout the piece. This makes it more valuable, more durable and more suitable for long-term use.
Why choose sterling silver jewelry?
Sterling silver is elegant, versatile and timeless. It can be worn every day or reserved for special moments. It combines beautifully with gemstones, pearls, moissanite and colorful stones, making it perfect for both minimalist and expressive designs.
It is also a wonderful choice for meaningful gifts, because it offers quality and beauty without needing to be overly formal or inaccessible.
