Sterling Silver Authenticity Guide

  • What is 925 Sterling Silver?

    925 Sterling Silver means your jewellery contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (usually copper) for strength.
    This ensures the perfect balance of durability, shine, and everyday wearability.

How to Identify Real 925 Sterling Silver Jewellery

You can check authenticity using these simple indicators:

  • Look for the “925” stamp on the jewelery
  • Check for BIS Hallmark.
    Every piece at The Sterling Shop is HUID Hallmarked
  • HUID means each piece has its unique 6 digit Hallmark identification number inscribed by government approved Hallmarking centers.
  • Observe weight & finish (real silver feels premium, not hollow)
  • Buy from a trusted brand with transparent policies.

  • Care Tips for Long-Lasting Shine

    • Store in a dry, airtight pouch
    • Avoid contact with perfume, water, chemicals
    • Clean gently with a soft cloth
    • Remove before showering or workouts
