Why We Use 925 Sterling Silver — And Why It Matters

At Mahsa Jewellery, we don’t just design with beauty in mind—we also care deeply about what goes into each piece. That’s why we use 925 Italian sterling silver across our collection. But if you’ve ever wondered what that really means, you’re not alone.

“925” refers to the purity of the silver: 92.5% pure silver, mixed with 7.5% other metals—typically copper. This small addition is what gives the silver strength. Pure silver (99.9%) is too soft to be shaped into durable rings, necklaces, or bracelets, so that 7.5% makes all the difference when it comes to wearability and resilience.

But not all 925 silver is created equal. We use Italian sterling silver, renowned globally for its quality, fine grain, and bright finish. The difference is visible—our pieces have a cleaner shine and more refined texture. Plus, our silver is responsibly sourced, aligning with our commitment to both beauty and ethics.

Another reason we love 925 silver? It’s hypoallergenic. If you have sensitive skin or reactions to costume jewellery, sterling silver is a safe, skin-friendly option that looks and feels luxurious without irritation.

So whether you’re choosing a delicate chain, a bold statement ring, or a set of stacking bangles, you’re getting more than a pretty accessory—you’re wearing craftsmanship, quality, and timeless style.

And like all true classics, your silver will only get better with time.
