Why 925 Sterling Silver Is the Smartest Choice for Everyday Jewellery

Why Silver Never Goes Out of Style

There’s a reason 925 sterling silver has remained a jewellery-box staple for decades — it’s classic, versatile, and effortlessly elegant. Whether you’re heading to the office, brunching with friends, or strolling along the beach, silver jewellery adds that perfect understated sparkle to every look.

At Mint Jewellery we believe everyday luxury shouldn’t come with a luxury price tag. Sterling silver offers the ideal balance of beauty, quality, and affordability.


What “925 Sterling Silver” Really Means

You’ve probably noticed the tiny “925” stamp on your jewellery — but what does it mean?

That hallmark is your guarantee of quality. It shows the piece is made from 92.5 % pure silver, with the remaining 7.5 % (alloy metals like copper) added for strength.
Pure silver alone is too soft for daily wear, but 925 sterling silver delivers the perfect mix of shine and durability.

Durability Meets Everyday Wear

Unlike cheap plated jewellery that fades or peels, sterling silver is solid all the way through. With a little care, it can last for decades — even generations.

Wear your Mint Jewellery pieces every day without worry — in the shower, at work, or on holiday — and they’ll keep their shine.

Quick Tip: Store silver in a dry pouch and give it a gentle polish every few weeks to maintain that mirror finish.


Value vs Plated Jewellery

Plated jewellery may look shiny at first but the outer layer wears off, revealing dull base metal underneath.

925 sterling silver, however, retains its true value, can be repurposed or polished, and doesn’t rely on a coating for beauty — it’s a smarter long-term investment.
