Know Your Silver

Silver may be affordable, but it’s no less important. From gifting to pooja items, baby products to temple jewellery — silver plays a special role in every Indian home. But not all silver is the same, and most buyers don’t know how to check quality. That’s why at Coimbatore Jewellery, we want to help you buy silver with full confidence.

What is Sterling Silver?
Pure silver is 99.9% silver, but it's very soft and bends easily. That’s why for jewellery or utensils, we use **Sterling Silver**, which is **92.5% silver + 7.5% copper or alloy**. This mix gives strength while retaining shine and value.

If you're buying silver chains, rings, earrings, or wearable items — always go for 92.5 Sterling Silver. It should have a small stamp that reads “925” — this is the hallmark of purity.

What About 80%, 85%, or 90% Silver?
These grades are used for articles like pooja items, anklets, payal, and silver plates. They're not wrong — just different purity levels based on usage.

• **90%**: Often used for high-quality utensils or gift articles
• **85% - 80%**: Common for heavy items, anklets, or where flexibility is needed

Coimbatore Jewellery clearly mentions the purity of every item — no confusion, no cheating.

Hallmarking in Silver:
Silver can also be hallmarked like gold. The BIS Silver Hallmark includes:

• BIS logo
• Purity mark like “925”
• Assaying centre code
• Jeweller’s identification mark

While hallmarking is not yet mandatory for silver, we voluntarily get our high-value silver jewellery certified for extra trust.

Silver Tarnishing — Why it Happens:
Silver reacts with air and moisture — that’s why it sometimes turns black. But don’t worry — it’s normal and doesn’t mean the silver is bad. A quick polish can restore the shine.

We also provide anti-tarnish pouches and free lifetime cleaning service for our customers, so your silver always looks fresh and beautiful.
