925 silver is one of the most beloved materials in artisan jewelry. But what exactly does it mean, and how do you choose the right pendant? Here's everything you need to know.
What is 925 silver?
925 silver, also known as sterling silver, is an alloy made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals — usually copper. This combination makes the jewelry more durable than pure silver, while retaining the luster and value typical of this precious metal.
The "925" stamp on the jewelry guarantees its quality and authenticity.

How to choose the right pendant?
The choice depends on three main factors:
1. The meaning
Every pendant tells a story. Animals, for example, have deep symbolism: the dolphin represents freedom, the elephant wisdom, the owl intuition. Choose a pendant that reflects your personality or that of the recipient.
2. The chain length
A 40-45 cm chain is perfect for an everyday look and goes with any neckline. For a more bohemian effect, opt for 50-60 cm.
3. The style
Do you prefer a minimalist and discreet pendant or a more statement one? Small pendants lend themselves to layering — wearing two or three together is a very current trend.
How to care for your 925 silver pendant?
