How much is 925 silver worth

Sterling Silver is genuine silver that has been mixed with other metals to enhance the durability of silver. This is because 99% pure silver is soft and easily scratched, with a hardness of only 2-3 on the Mohs Scale. This is the reason why it needs to be alloyed. The “925” marking on jewelry comes from 92.5% silver mixed with other metals. Of course, the reduced silver content means that the value of 925 silver is less than pure silver, but it is stronger and more suitable for making jewelry. 925 silver is cheaper than pure silver and gold, but the value of jewelry depends on other factors as well, such as brand, silver composition, and craftsmanship.
