Advantages and disadvantages of 925 silver jewelry

Jewelry made of 925 Sterling Silver has some advantages and disadvantages that producers, sellers, and buyers should consider.

Advantages of 925 Sterling Silver jewelry

The alloy 925 Sterling Silver is often used in the production of robust, durable jewelry for men. The reason is simple: Modern men's jewelry is exposed to high stresses in everyday life. The 925 sterling silver is significantly harder than classic silver. Modern men's jewelry with an attractive look and optimal properties can thus be produced efficiently. Compared directly to other materials, such as the common stainless steel, the men's jewelry made of 925 sterling silver scores with a more elegant and attractive appearance. This can basically be polished/shiny or matte. The high art in manufacturing is to combine these two finishes. An example of this is our "Edgy" ring or our "Peace" necklace. Depending on the choice of surface finish, a somewhat more striking or more discreet look results. Polished bangles and rings play especially beautifully with the light and usually appear a bit more chic and noble due to the shine. However, they are also more susceptible to reflections and superficial scratches. If you choose a matte surface instead, scratches are less of a problem. For that, the ring or bangle has a rather industrial-discreet look. So it is a matter of taste and weighing the pros and cons!

The fact is: 925 sterling silver jewelry offers the right "surface finish" (polished or matte) for every taste.

Two other predominantly positive aspects that make silver jewelry popular are: value retention and processing quality. Silver is a precious metal and as such always has a higher value and greater rarity than, for example, stainless steel jewelry. The raw material "silver" is traded on precious metal exchanges and, like gold, is also a kind of international currency and investment object. Due to the volatility of precious metal prices, silver jewelry can thus increase in value. Not only visually (through shape, color, texture), but also measured by the material value, jewelry made of 925 sterling silver is higher quality than jewelry made of stainless steel, brass, and co.

Processing quality means that the relatively flexible nature of silver has the advantage that the jewelry can be relatively easily engraved, bent, and shaped. Combined with the skills of a jewelry craftsman, countless design options (shapes, engravings, etc.) arise, which cannot be implemented in this variation with hard stainless steel jewelry.

Disadvantages of 925 sterling silver jewelry

With men's jewelry made of sterling silver, the expected oxygen reaction must be considered. This is completely absent in stainless steel, so oxidation or discoloration due to chemical processes is not to be expected. Learn more about care of silver jewelry. Another disadvantage is the mentioned price fluctuation of the raw material silver. Because of this, the manufacturing and thus also the selling prices of the jewelry pieces can fluctuate from time to time. Although it can be said that the price fluctuations of jewelry cannot be equated with the fluctuations of a stock price.
