What does “925 Italy” refer to on a silver chain necklace?
925 stands for 92.5% silver which is sterling silver. The rest is alloys that make it more durable and harder like nickel. Many folks like me are allergic to nickel so prefer gold posts for example on earrings. Italy means that it was made in Italy, even if it is an American company like Tiffany it will say “Italy” for pieces that were made in Italy. The silver content for sterling is 92.5 %, for 14k gold gold content is 58.5 so gold the stamp is 585; 18k it’s 750 O 75% and for 24k it’s 995 O 99.5% oro. The higher the gold content the softer the metal. So if you were a princess that had 10 inch nails and didn’t have to work you might prefer 995/24k. If you are a person that uses their hands a lot, you might use the higher gold content items for going out and use 14k for every day. Interesting that the USA has always been a 14k kind of country for most people. Back in the day jewelry generally was worn only on special occasions for the middle class anyway and given on anniversaries etc. In most of Europe it’s been 18k, middle east 18k or 22k or 24k same in China and Asia. Some places in Asia are sterling silver mostly. When gold was more difficult to mine, 9k was very common in the UK and USA.
