Sterling Silver commonly consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This composition is known as 925 sterling silver or simply “sterling silver”.
Gold-plated silver jewelry is jewelry made of silver that has been covered with a thin layer of gold. This process is called gold plating. Gold-plated jewelry made of silver is a good choice for people who value aesthetics and quality, but want to avoid the costs associated with jewelry made entirely of gold.
