925 is sterling silver... the title doesn’t make sense at all
Thanks for your feedback. Some people really don't know the meaning of 925 stamps , therefore its aimed to make it clear for them . Thanks
This is my understanding and I haven't watched the video yet.
@@ArgentAurum huh? Last time I checked Sterling silver is .925. That’s what the stamp is there for, to indicate that the piece is sterling silver.
Not all Sterling is hallmarked 925 , anyway thanks for the comment
925 can be gold silver or plat
In order for a silver to be classified as sterling silver, it must meet at least a 92.5 purity, AKA 925. So, as you can see: 925 silver is sterling silver. Conversely, metals that contain less than 92.5 percent silver are not sterling silver, which is important to keep in mind when buying sterling silver.
This is exactly what this video is about
this was very helpful on my research on getting jewerly, thank you so much❤️
Hi Anny, I;m glad it was helpful:) Thank you very much for your support! 🌺
Been wearing my SS chain for 41 years, not continually but mostly. Super durable, and still looks good.
Gold just looks cheap to me.
I’m not surprised at all that you’ve been wearing it for soooo long ! Sterling is truly a very durable metal , and will last ages , I always say that )
That's really cool do you clean it sometimes or just wear it I now I got a sliver cuff you can get tarnish off of it I think sliver that's smooth cleans the best my opinion.
Gold to me is an ugly color. I hate yellow. It's a disgusting color to look at for me personally.. Nothing yellow looks good. Yellow cars.. Gold is like an uglier version of yellow to me.
If the values were flipped, I still wouldn't wear gold
I collect gold and silver bullion but my chain is 999 silver. I got a thick Cuban link 999 pure silver chain.
Always preferred silver over gold, 925 is the standard for me always
Same
I’ll trade you silver u give me gold
I'll trade equal price but different weight in this case ))
@@Murphys_Law9 I love silver, seriously I won't trade my silver jewelry over gold my collection will downsize drastically lol
Why you prefer silver over gold ??
Hi, thank you for teaching me this!
I'm happy it was useful :) Thank you for your support!
Thank you for the informations , keep giving you're being so helpfull
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks for the information I honestly didn't know that?
I’m glad it was useful . Thank you for your support :)
Thank you 🙏 very much dear its was very helpful i got a B925
I have a necklace I bought that is gold plated over 925 sterling silver. Does this mean it is considered vermeil? I have also read that it needs to be 2.5 microns thick in gold to be considered vermeil so I am confused.
Hi , thank you for your question :) Yes that's right in order to be considered as vermeil the layer of gold should be not less then 2.5microns & gold not less then 10K , otherwise it will be referred as gold plated . This is really very very thin layer of gold and normally gold vermeil is always sterling layered with gold, whilst gold plated jewellery could be any other metal bras etc . You can check the thickness of the layer with you local jeweller , but to be honest i dont think its worth the hassle and I do think that most of sterling jewellery on the market plated with gold is truly vermeil. hope it helps
Thank you for that info
You are very welcome
There is no difference between sterling silver and 925 silver. If silver contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% other alloy then it's sterling silver. It's also called 925 silver because 925 came from 92.5%.
Yes, and that's exactly what this video is about, if you watched it
@@ArgentAurum But the video name is like sharing differnce between them!
The video title is to explain what the video is about , I totally respect your opinion however if you watched the video itself your comment would make more sense
To be honest 🤷🏽♂️ I only wear gold so I’ve educated myself on everything about it (Weight value, price differences from 10k,14k,18k,24, etc.) I’m just here to learn about silver. I feel like if you prefer silver over gold that’s perfectly fine but if the price doesn’t matter and you prefer the silver look maybe try white gold if you want to make a fashion statement it looks the same just more expensive
So why would you buy white gold if it’s the same look as silver? Sounds crazy to me
How easily it may tarnish may be the reason why people go for white gold instead of silver. Since it’s easy to remove the tarnish, I feel sterling silver works just fine.
@@murkyturkey5238 probably the value of the metal. buying precious metals are like investment. they only rise in value as time goes by. I believe silver too.
I got myself a tiffany ring! I bought it with my own money a simple silver band, don't care if it's cheaper than engagement rings of them, but it's tiffany, I love the craftsmanship, gold is so expensive if it's tiffany.
I love Tiffany too :) Doesn't really matter whether its gold or silver, in either case it's a good investment. Well done!
@@ArgentAurum thank you so much, I really love it, even though it's a little big for me, I used my other dainty ring to secure its place.
It's my second purchased of tiffany's
Tiffany it’s a good investment :)
@@ArgentAurum true
Thank you so much for watching! Have you ever inspected your jewellery for 925 markings ? Let me know in the comments down below
Yes I have inspected first than watched a video on TH-cam that what is 925 silver
I always check my sterling silver for the 925 label
That's good to know :) I do the same all the time
thats good to know )
I found an earring with the marking 925 TG what does that mean the TG . I saw TG means Toms Gold so does this make it white gold ?
It also has 65 diamonds can they be real diamonds.? Would a jeweler place real diamonds in a earring with these markings they're real tiny reduce 65 of them five rows
Can you make a video about the different types of silver plating please! Like plain silver, yellow gold plated, rhodium plated, etc. And the different finishes. Like can silver be hammered/satin/polish finish etc.? Please & thank you!
Hi , will definitely do , thank you for the idea! :)
If possible don't get plated jewelry. It looks like the real thing of course * example yellow gold*, but the plating will eventually chip off and be worth nothing. If you do get plated don't spend more than $40 which is still high price. And go for sterling as the under piece. NeVER brass or bronze! In the long run It's better to invest in 10k,14k and 18k gold. 24k is the highest but the softest gold and can scratch and bend more easy than the others. Itll be a lifetime pieces of jewelry just like real pure 925 sterling silver. Pure rose gold (any karat). Pure bronze. Hope that made sense and helped.
I want to ask, as a 149 cm tall female, how long should my 925 sterling silver chain be? I recently broke my necklace and needed a new chain to replace the old one. Such as 18in, 20 in, 24 in?
that really depends in your preference and neck size.. there's a chocker style or the long style. also depends on your outfit.
Thank you for the video. Can you tell me the difference between the Italy silver and the sterling silver. What is the best and never change the color?
Hi, thank you for your support. Technically there is no difference between Italian silver & sterling silver . It is the same sterling 925. Usually when we refer to italian silver we mean high quality and refer to craftship since Italian jewellers use various unique techniques in crafting jewellery. Italian silver tends to tarnish as well
@@ArgentAurum true lol, there is even a Italian gold 14k
Italy silver is just almost like a brand name but the same sterling silver 925.. people trust italy silver because almost all chains that are legit 925/sterling silver have italy silver marked on them. that's why they look for italy silver
Perfect explanation
thank you
Hi
Whats the barcelet silver meaning please?
Hello I was wondering I have a nice heavy 925 silver chain that weighs 125 grams and was wondering how much I could sell it for it's on good condition
It depends - how good is condition , what’s is the weight etc .. what you can do - you can approach your local goldsmiths for a no obligation quotation .. lots of of them do that
Silver is not worth anything, I think
Silver is a precious metal the same as gold , platinum etc .. the only difference is a price range which makes it more affordable then other metals ..no matter what’s the economic situation in the world , silver as well as other precious metals are worth investing in .. obviously It’s a matter of personal choice & affordability
@@ArgentAurum
So you are telling me that silver and gold are the same stability? And if so, is the stability of 925 and sterling silver the same aswell, better, is there a Nr 1 stability Metall??
that's not true , silver is a precious metal and will always be worth investing in. It is much cheaper than gold or platinum, but its affordability does not compromise its value
I've gotten some jewelry that I know is sliver but some don't always mark it with a stamp. Or sometime is not on there very deep if it's a older peice. It can wear off. I've been wearing sliver for years. Sure I always well.
thats right some silver items will not be marked at all
In silver if we mix copper it gets hard but why copper and zinc is mixed together? What's the use of zinc with copper
Zinc may improve the resistance of the sterling silver to firestain and tarnish, however most sterling silver is still made using copper rather then other alloys in its composition . Hope it helps )
@@ArgentAurum what alloy you use in what percentage to mix in 925 silver..... Only copper or different mix for different jwellery ? And what i should do for tarnishing....And what you think about rodhium plating of silver? Is it a good option to prevent tarnishing?
@@ArgentAurum i my self make jwellery though i m beginner... Its my family business to selling gold and silver.. i know lots of things in this field... And i m always curious to know why certain things in used in certain way.... my dad is expert but he knows better about gold and stones... my English is weak so hope you can understand 😝🙈
Hi , i personally prefer copper since its less allergic. Tarnishing there's nothing we can do about apart from regular cleaning. As long as silver is exposed to oxygen it oxidizes aka tarnishing. About rhodium plating - personally I do like rhodium plated silver as you can do so much more designs in terms of colours and get that modern look etc Whether it prevents tarnishing - possibly it may delay tarnishing, but I'm not sure 100% since rhodium plated jewelry tends to tarnish as well ..hope it helps
I also come from jeweller family ) don't worry about your English, english is not my first language either ))
Thank you❣️
You’re welcome 😊
Great video, thank you. Wow.. I have been teaching myself to make chains and bracelets (silver plated). If I were to make a real silver bracelet (925), should the findings also be silver (925). Probably make gifts for family. Thank you so much…
Does 92.5% sterling silver and 7.5% copper tarnish? If it does, does it happen faster?
HI Alyssa, unfortunately sterling (925) tends to tarnish. How quickly it will tarnish depends how good you look after it and how you store your sterling. The good news are the tarnish can be removed by polishing or buffing, I will make a separate video on that due to many requests , so stay tuned. Thank you for your support!
Copper will tarnish for sure
thank you maam
I didn’t start to appreciate silver until I had kids then I realized fixing and replacing broken or lost jewelry was just becoming too expensive especially because I only do white gold yellow gold doesn’t compliment me
Oh yes I can relate 😃
*Complement not compliment. They sound alike, but have 2 different meanings.
What you are saying makes sense . But It’s a matter of personal choice and affordability. Both metals are investment and both jewellery will last ages , they are just with different price tags
Does it mean the same for a 925-picture frame? Thanks
I never came across of real silver frames , only silver plated . My guess is yes though , worth checking the markings, possibly acid test .
yes
Hi! I want to ask a question
925 Sterling Silver VS Silver Plated.. which is better?
Thanks in advance 😉
It’s a matter of personal choice to be honest :) I personally would always go for sterling . Or if it’s plated I would choose good old big names for ex Swarovski lol
@@ArgentAurum I get it now! Thank you for your explanation.
If the piece is stamped just the word "Sterling" without any number, does it still genuine/ original?
Yes :)
I just purchased some 925 silver rings from over seas that turned my fingers green. I read online that it can happen but I always thought that was only copper and brass?
Hi Rizza, sorry for delayed reply , i just seen your comment ) Sometimes skin turns green in some people when wearing silver, that's true . This is the reaction to copper which is mixed into silver. I suggest washing properly the jewellery with soap and give it another try. If it happens again try polishing the ring inside with clear nail vanish and see if it gets better . Sometimes the skin stops coloring after several wears
you bought a fake one. it is very common these days. sellers putting 925 silver and they even have it stamped. Always read the description of the products regardless of the title there you can see on the description that it's actually an alloy. if the description is unclear, ask the seller itself if it's genuine sterling silver.. some of them will give you shady answer like "It's marked 925 silver" if they don't give you direct clear answer then it's fake.
Is this the same silver used for the flute head joint or body?
no
if you refer to body piercing yes , flute head i don't think so
How often does sterling silver 925 needs to be replated if worn regularly?
I don’t replace if at all , unless I no longer like it or it’s broken and can’t be fixed
only if the plating layer wears off
So can you clean these the same?
I;ve got a video how to clean silver th-cam.com/video/cJW-NZ4T-jE/w-d-xo.html
What is the difference between sterling silver and Italian silver
Italian is the same sterling , its just when we say italian silver we refer to craftsmanship with its unique style and high quality.
Can someone tell me is s 925 China diamonds 💎 earrings are real or fake??
I wouldn’t rely on markings in this case. Technically diamonds could be encrusted in diamonds , but I recommend still Checking diamonds with your local jeweller
I got a thick Cuban link chain that is 999 pure silver. They started making pure silver jewelry now over 925.
Oh that’s good to know , thank you for sharing 😃
I seriously need to know if. 925 Sterling silver is hypoallergenic because I'm highly sensitive to most generic knock off metals causing me to itch and my fingers to turn a yellowish green hue around my finger or around my neck and even so on my ears you don't figure eh? Is this normal phenomenon?
Hi , thank you for your question 😀some people tend to to have such kind of reactions to metal based jewellery , I mean stainless etc . I wouldn’t say it’s kind of normal , but it’s widely spread . definitely it’s nothing to worry about as long as you exclude these type of metals you’re having allergic reaction to . Sterling is hypoallergenic , but tiny amount of people may also have reaction to it . Try and see how it goes with you, just make sure you wear sterling silver and not silver plated which is metal based. Hope it helps
if you're very sensitive then 316 stainless steel is good. kinda cheap but hypoallergenic. that's why it's being used as surgical tools or kitchen utensils because it's the safest metal for people with sensitive skin.
925 s silver coated with rhodium what is your take on that?
for longer durability and brighter luster
good quality sterling silver with brighter luster which will last long
Hey, is it possible for jewellery to be fake and not real silver even if it has a 925 stamp?
Unfortunately yes
yes
My understanding is that if a piece is marked “Sterling“ it can represent the age or time period of the piece! 925 is a universal symbol of sterling silver!
Correct
Hola, tengo una medalla y tiene marcado,,,,,,. 0.925 Sterling,. me gustaría saber la calidad de mi medalla porfa gracias
My guess is it’s sterling silver . 0.925 is equivalent to 92.5% meaning it contained this exact amount of pure silver , and the rest 7.5% belong to other alloys usually copper for longer durability
Thk u
you are very welcome
i have a 925 mark on all my silver :)
What if it's marked with 925 and a P stamp
Hi, thank you for your question. I am not sure what the P would stand for. Though possibly could be a first initial of the jeweller or the company brand. For ex when I import silver from abroad and hallmark it my company initials EJ would be stamped next to 925 hallmark
I have recently bought 925 silver ring....
that's a good investment!
What does 925 silver post means
sterling silver
I have a hebrew star and it only has 925 on the back of it.
it means its sterling )
Can u get 925 silver wet?
Absolutely
Good I have a diamond ring that’s 925 and I was worried ab cleaning it was a gift from pandora so great ik it’s right
Oh nice!
@@ArgentAurum exactly it’s amazing to know our best friend is real when we get one lol 💖
Nice how to tell silver from lead?thanks
lead is dull and soft, silver is brighter and harder
@@ArgentAurum thanks
I got some 92.5s bracelet on sale
Can 925 Italy be white gold to
Nope 😊
@@ArgentAurum what if it’s gold plated
My skin can tell the difference of metal because I'm allergic to nickel and just wearing jewelry can tell me what it made of most of the time it effects my skin in different ways
I can relate :) thank you for your comment !
so what im hearing is that there is no way to avoid silver from getting black
Not really , it takes time for it to turn black , but if you look after it properly (avoid contact with chemicals , polishing etc) it may never turn black eventually
Please clear S925 💍 difference between 925
Ok will do :)
Is it wise to have a 925 for a wedding band?
hi , absolutely , if you feel buying sterling wedding band you can do so , there are many designs out there from silver But bear in mind that silver is a much softer metal then gold and platinum, therefore you need to take extra care of it when wearing daily
@@ArgentAurum ok thank you so much
No problem at all )

so how does that work?
Will 925 silver turn green over time I wear it?
Most likely yes , but it all depends how good you wil look after your jewellery , how often you'll clean it and polish. The good news are the tarnish can be easily cleane
Can I order online for India?
I will start sales soon via TH-cam with international postage, stay tuned and jot the bell
I love your voice!!!!
thanks lol
925 sIlver is sterling Silver , Solid .999 silver is sometimes reffered to as Bullion , that just means its solid
I have a ring and a chain of 925 silver
I absolutely love silver jewellery too
Some people are allergic to nickel.
you are right )
I was under the impression that sterling silver was 925/1000 silver, 75/1000 copper, and .925 could contain metals other than copper, Such as zinc or nickel. Being allergic to nickel, I take extra care to make sure that I don't get anything but silver/copper .925.
so which silver is better Sterling Silver or normal Silver
Doesn’t matter, it’s the same
Will a 925 silver ring carry a real diamond?
hello, thank you for your question. Technically yes, practically on rare occasions :) hope it helps
Please test moon magic
I wish I could
Can u set real dimonds in 925
Silver
yes you can, but you rarely find this type of diamond jewelry because diamonds on gold or platinum traditionally are more popular
@@ArgentAurum check out Chrome Hearts
I checked mine and it has 925 number on it.. Phew!! 🤣
😂😂💪
Mine too it has a 925 written on it but the numbers are very little
I have one marked 999 that does that mean?
Pure silver
pure silver
Thank you for this video. I do have a question though. I have sterling silver flatware, that I need to sell. It was my mothers. It is Georg Jensen sterling acorn design. I called a place where they will melt down the flatware themselves, but he is saying it is not 925, and can not give me the same price as 925, and that is is about 84 percent silver. I never heard of this before. I thought if it says sterling silver that it is actually 925. He is saying it is not. Can you clarify this for me?
Hi thank you for your question. It’s worth checking the exact markings on flatware items. What does it say ? Sterling or 84? Any other markings? Base on what you said my guess is that it’s not sterling , as sterling only stands for 925 . but 84 which is the Russian mark for 84 zolotniki, which is the same as 875 silver fineness. This silver is commonly used in flatware due to its longer durability and better resistance , whilst sterling (925) is used in jewelry . Another point to pay attention on is that why would you sell it as melted? Very often such items are much more valuable due to its age and may represent a real value . Selling it as a flatware may take a little longer , but definitely you can achieve better price . Take if to your local goldsmiths and antique shop for appraisal :) hope it helps . If you have any other questions feel free to reach me again
Well I wanna know why we call actual silverware "flatware". Does That make any sense?
Flatware or silverware it’s actually the same , but important to remember that flatware we refer to Utensils made of different metals including silvers , whilst silverware we refer to silver plated utensils or made only from silver . Hope it helps
i found 935 silver when i metal detecting "935"
Difference between 925 silver and italian silver
The term Italian silver refers more to craftsmanship which makes jewellery look so unique & beautiful . Apart from that it’s the same sterling

thank you for sharing your feedback :) i will work on that x
My goodness Olga.. You are incredibly beautiful love.. Thank you for the video.
Thank you too!
Very informative but I had to rewind a couple of times to hear what you were saying. Your music is too loud and should be softer so that your beautiful voice comes through better.
Thank you for your comment and advice , I will definitely look into that. Comments like this helps me improve , thank you again! I greatly appreciate 😀

sterling silver means 925silver plus 7.5other metals combine.. while 925 silver is only 925silver, dont hve yet mix or havent mix yet of 7.5other metals. thank me later
All my silver have 925 mark
Why do they call. 925 Sterling Silver but not .900 silver?
it means it consists of 90% pure silver and 10% other alloy. This type of silver is used in old US coins and in jewellery of latin america's origin
I have are sterling brand
I have a s925
that's great )
So they are the same
Yes 😀
is 925 silver durable?
Absolutely
Compre una pulsera que solo dice sterling, esta muy gruesa, i buy a brazalete only say sterling!!
I have 925 silver from my mom it's almost 40 yrs old. It never gets old. It gets dark but if you clean it it's back to being shiny.. But i still dont know if it's real haha
if it tarnishes and gets back to almost like new after polishing then most likely its real. Check the hallmark.But If you cant test it at home an are in doubts best thing to do - to take it to your local jeweller /goldsmith . Hope it helps
@@ArgentAurum thank u.. How much do you think it is?
Hi, best thing to do would be be dropping off your jewellery to your local jeweller who’ll be able to give you exact quotation based on weight and condition
@@ArgentAurum my ring says 925 and an FN stamp do you know what the fn means ?
👍🏻💫💫💫
thank you
I've made .9999 to 999 silver jewelry believe me it's soft but not that soft. believe 22k 24k gold is softer . gold/silver coins are strong even at it's 99% purity , USeagles kangaroo maples Mex Libertad & more. nice 👍 video !
Absolutely agree with you , gold is a much softer metal then silver. If gold jewellery was made of 925 purity which is a bit less then 24k , it would be impossible to wear . That’s why golden jewellery ranges mostly between 9 to 18k , you hardly find stamp higher them that . Regarding coins I’m not an expert in coins , but I presume the purity story would be almost the same and will vary from coin to coin. Thank you for your support 👍
