925 sterling silver Jewelry is called such because it has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925. An interesting fact: 925 sterling silver is preferred over 99.9% pure silver when purchasing jewelry. Why is this so? Well, because pure silver is relatively soft for practical everyday use, and it is necessary to alloy this silver with copper so as to increase its strength and hardness.
