When you see “975” stamped on jewelry, it refers to the purity of the metal used, indicating 97.5% silver content. This is slightly purer than the common standard of sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver (marked as 925). The remaining 2.5% in 975 silver usually consists of other metals, like copper, added to enhance durability and strength. Jewelry marked with 975 is a sign of high-quality craftsmanship and is often chosen for its greater silver content, giving it a brighter, richer appearance. It’s a solid choice for those who love elegant, fine silver with superior purity and luster.
