What is sterling silver?
Pure silver is naturally soft, so it is combined with a small amount of another metal to make it stronger and more suitable for jewellery.
Sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver, which is why you may see it described as 925 silver. This balance gives silver jewellery its characteristic brightness while making it durable enough for regular wear.
Handmade sterling silver jewellery gifts
Silver jewellery makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and other special occasions. Its timeless appearance and accessible price point make it a beautiful choice when you want to give something meaningful that can be worn for years to come.
From small silver stud earrings to bold rings and contemporary pendants, there are designs to suit minimalists, maximalists, and everyone in between.

A guide to caring for your silver jewellery
Sterling silver can tarnish when it reacts with moisture, air, chemicals, and products such as perfume or moisturiser. This is completely natural and doesn’t mean your jewellery is damaged or poor quality.
To keep your silver jewellery looking its best:
-
Remove it before swimming, showering, exercising, or cleaning
-
Avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions, and household chemicals
-
Store it somewhere cool and dry, ideally in an airtight bag or jewellery box
-
Keep individual pieces separate to prevent scratching
-
Gently polish it with a specialist silver polishing cloth.
