Understand the term
FTC describes sterling silver as92.5% pure silver, sometimes marked925. The remaining alloy is not identified by that number alone. A silver-looking photograph does not establish the composition.
Read the selected option
Quince offers the checked Dress Up Hoops in Sterling Silver as well as a gold-vermeil option. Keep the selected material with the price instead of carrying a material statement across every option.
Leave authentication to evidence
We report the seller’s material statement and explain terminology. We have not performed an assay, appraised a delivered item or authenticated a hallmark. A925 mark in a photo would not be our laboratory proof.
A useful detail to retain
The number925 is a composition description when appropriately used, not a complete ingredient list for an alloy. If the identity of other metals matters, request the maker’s current component information. Our reference does not fill the remaining7.5% with a guessed metal or assume that every post uses the same composition as the decorative body.
