Introduzione

Custom silver rings offer a perfect blend of personalization and affordability, making them increasingly popular for engagements, weddings, and fashion statements. But how much should you expect to pay? This 5000-word guide breaks down all cost factors, from materials and design complexity to labor and hidden fees, helping you budget wisely for your dream ring.

Chapter 1: Understanding Sterling Silver (925 Argento)

1.1 What is Sterling Silver?

  • Composizione: 92.5% argento puro + 7.5% lega (di solito rame) per durata.

  • Perché 925? Pure silver is too soft; the alloy adds strength while maintaining shine.

  • Price per gram: $0.80–$1.50 (varies with market rates).

1.2 Silver Quality & Pricing Tiers

Tipo Purezza Price/Gram Meglio per
Fine argento 99.9% $1.20–$2.00 Collectibles
Sterlina (925) 92.5% $0.80–$1.50 Gioielli
Argentium Silver 93.5%+ $1.50–$3.00 Tarnish-resistant

Nota: Most custom rings use 925 argento—optimal for wearability and cost.
