Fine silver, also known as pure silver or 999 silver, is a preferred choice in jewelry for its exceptional purity. Composed of 99.9% pure silver, it offers a brilliant shine and soft texture, ideal for delicate, high-end creations. Although softer than sterling silver, its purity makes it a valuable choice for fine jewelry and artistic pieces.

Fine silver is an extremely soft metal, rarely, if ever, used in jewelry.

925 silver, also known as sterling silver, is an alloy prized in jewelry for its quality and durability. Composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper, it offers a perfect balance of brilliance and strength.

Appreciated for its versatility and timeless allure, 925 silver is often used to create a wide range of jewelry, from delicate pieces to bolder designs.

What's the difference between sterling silver and fine silver?

The main difference between fine silver and sterling silver lies in their purity. Fine silver is almost pure, with a composition of 99.9% pure silver, while sterling silver is composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper.

As a result, fine silver is softer and more likely to bend than sterling silver, which is more durable thanks to its alloys.
