Silver Jewelry

Sleek and elegant, silver is more than an accessory. Silver says that you appreciate fine things, but are hip and vibrant. Silver says you have moxie. Silver shows your sophisticated and your sassy side. Silver is young and young at heart.

As a smart silver buyer, you should know a few things:

  • The words silver or sterling silver describe a product that contains 92.5 percent silver. Silver products sometimes may be marked 925 meaning that 925 parts per thousand are pure silver.
  • Some jewelry may be described as silverplate: a layer of silver is bonded to a base metal.
  • The mark coin silver is used for compounds that contain 90 percent silver.
  • According to the law, quality-marked silver also must bear the name or a U.S. registered trademark of the company or person that will stand behind the mark.
