Earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets in 925 sterling silver (92.5% silver), pure silver and rhodium-plated silver. Silver flatters most skin tones, is gentle on the skin and costs far less than gold. It tarnishes with sweat, cosmetics and humid air; a polishing cloth and an airtight pouch keep it bright. Pieces sold as S925 should carry a small stamp inside or on the clasp. See how to recognise real silver in our guides. Ranked by the independent usdxu score.
