Tiara Ring 925

925 silver, also known as sterling silver, is a metallic alloy composed mainly of silver (92.5%) and a small amount of other metals, usually copper (7.5%). This alloy is widely used in jewelry and in the manufacture of decorative objects due to its beauty, durability and resistance to corrosion.

The history of 925 silver dates back centuries. The use of silver as a precious metal dates back to ancient times, with evidence of silver mining and the manufacture of silver objects found in several ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. However, pure silver (99.9%) was often considered too soft for most practical applications, as it scratched easily and lost its shape.

To overcome this limitation, goldsmiths began adding small amounts of other metals to silver, such as copper, to increase its strength. The resulting alloy, with 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, proved to be an ideal combination, as it maintained the beauty of pure silver while increasing its durability.
