Why 925 Sterling Silver Is the Gold Standard for Everyday Jewelry

When it comes to everyday jewelry, not all metals are created equal. At ODO Jewelry, we believe in offering beauty that lasts, which is why many of our pieces are made with high-quality 925 sterling silver. But what exactly is 925 silver, and why does it matter?

What is 925 Sterling Silver?
925 sterling silver is a premium silver alloy made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper). Pure silver on its own is too soft for everyday wear, but the addition of stronger metals ensures durability while maintaining its beautiful, radiant shine.

Why Choose 925 Sterling Silver?
- Hypoallergenic: It’s a great option for sensitive skin. Unlike cheaper metals that may cause irritation, 925 silver is nickel-free and skin-safe.
- Durable & Long-Lasting: With proper care, sterling silver jewelry can last a lifetime without tarnishing or losing its luster.
- Elegant Everyday Luxury: Lightweight and timeless, it offers the perfect balance of beauty and wearability.

Caring for Your Silver Jewelry
To keep your ODO pieces looking radiant:
- Store in a soft cloth or pouch when not in use
- Avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged moisture
- Gently polish with a silver cleaning cloth if needed

Sterling silver isn't just a material—it's a commitment to quality. And that’s exactly what ODO stands for.
