When it comes to jewellery, an iportant factor is not just how it looks – but it’s also about what it’s made of. At Lawrence Paige, we’re proud to use 925 sterling silver in our jewellery. Why? Because we believe in giving you jewellery that lasts, feels luxurious, and actually respects your skin..
Here’s why we choose 925 sterling silver: the perfect blend of timeless elegance and everyday durability.
What Does 925 Sterling Silver Mean?
925 sterling silver is made up of 92.5% pure silver, blended with 7.5% other metals (typically copper). This blend is what makes the silver strong enough to be worn and loved daily, without losing its shape or sparkle. Without the blend of metals the silver is too soft, will damage easily and loose shape.
If you’ve ever seen the tiny “925” stamp on the back of a ring, necklace, or bracelet that’s your guarantee that the jewellery is sterling silver. It’s an international hallmarking standard for high-quality silver jewellery or silver that is 92.5% silver.
Don’t Be Fooled by Cheaper Metals
Unfortunately, the jewellery world is full of beautiful pieces made from metals like brass, stainless steel, or plated alloys. These might look good on screen, but in real life? They don’t last, they tarnish, they can irritate your skin and they definitely don’t feel luxurious.
At Lawrence Paige, we say no to cutting corners. No green skin. No flaking metal. No surprises. Just beautiful, high-quality silver jewellery designed to make you feel amazing.
Why 925 Sterling Silver Is So Special
There’s a reason sterling silver has stood the test of time. Here’s why we love it and why it deserves a place in your jewellery box too:
✨ 1. Timeless Shine That Last
Sterling silver has a natural, high-shine finish that makes it glow in any light. With just a little care and polishing, your silver jewellery will keep its sparkle for years. It’s not just a trend, it’s a classic that never goes out of style.
💍 2. High-End Look Without the High-End Price
You shouldn’t have to choose between beauty and budget. 925 sterling silver offers the look and feel of luxury, but at a more accessible price point than solid gold or platinum. It’s perfect for everyday elegance or special occasions.
🧖♀️ 3. Kind to Sensitive Skin
If you’ve ever had your ears itch or your skin turn green from wearing cheap metals - you are not alone. Sterling silver however, is hypoallergenic, which means it’s much gentler on sensitive skin, you won't go green or have a reaction. It’s a dream come true for anyone who reacts to base metals.
♻️ 4. Eco-Friendly & Recyclable
Sterling silver is a sustainable choice. It’s a precious metal that can be recycled and reused without losing its quality. So when you choose 925 silver, you’re investing in something better for both you and the planet. You can keep your silver jewellery forever, no more wearing once and having to throw it in bin.
🛠 5. Durable Enough to Wear Every Day
Unlike fashion jewellery made from plated metals or plastic, sterling silver is strong, sturdy, and made to be worn. Whether you're wearing your favourite silver necklace every day or stacking rings for a night out, it holds up beautifully.
Real Silver, Real Glamour
925 sterling silver isn’t just a material, it’s a statement. It says you care about quality. That you value timeless design. And that you don’t settle for jewellery that fades, flakes, or fakes it.
At Lawrence Paige, we’ve built our collection around that philosophy. Each piece is designed to feel just as good as it looks, stylish, effortless, and made to be worn with pride.
So next time you’re shopping for jewellery, remember: if it’s not stamped 925, you might not be getting the real thing.
