Many silver jewelry on the market are marked with the "925 silver" mark, so why not use 999 silver?

Some merchants say that their jewelry is 925 silver, while others say it is 999 silver. So, which one is better, 925 silver or 999 silver?

The so-called 925 silver refers to silver with a purity content of 92.5%.

999 silver means that the purity content of silver is 99.9% (actually this is a purity content percentage).

925 silver is internationally recognized pure silver. Due to the addition of 7.5% alloy, it has more ideal hardness, brightness and oxidation resistance.

Many international famous jewelry brands like to use it to shape and set various gemstones.

999 silver is also called pure silver. It is deeply loved by Chinese people because of its high purity.

However, the price of silver itself is not very expensive, so whether it is 925 silver or 999 silver, the price difference between them is not big.

When choosing silver jewelry, you can generally tell whether it is 925 silver or 999 silver from the style.

Those that look fashionable, have relatively complicated styles, and are inlaid with gemstones are mostly 925 silver.

Those with more traditional shapes, such as baby longevity locks, traditional carvings, dragon and phoenix silver bracelets, etc., are mostly 999 silver.

In addition, you can also tell what kind of silver content it is based on the mark of the internal test of the jewelry.
