What does S925 mean?

S925 is a common mark for sterling silver, an alloy containing 92.5% silver. Product specifications matter because designs can also include gold-tone finishes, pearls, gemstones or other components. Our guide to 925 sterling silver versus silver-plated jewellery explains the difference and what to look for when comparing pieces in the UK.

Choosing earrings for everyday wear or gifting

For regular wear, consider scale, weight and how the earrings work with your routine. A smaller stud can feel discreet, while hoops and drops make more of a visual statement. When buying a gift, check the recipient’s preferred metal colour and whether they usually wear studs, hoops or longer earrings. We do not describe every design as suitable for every sensitivity, so review the product information and seek professional advice if you have a known metal allergy.

Sterling silver can naturally tarnish when exposed to air, moisture and cosmetics. Put earrings on after perfume, remove them before bathing or swimming, wipe them after wear and store them dry. Read our practical guide on how to clean silver jewellery for step-by-step care.

Frequently asked questions
Are sterling silver earrings good for sensitive ears?

Sterling silver earrings are often a good choice for sensitive ears, especially when made from S925 sterling silver. Known for its skin-friendly quality and refined finish, sterling silver is widely loved for everyday wear. If you have particularly sensitive skin, we always recommend checking the product materials and caring for your earrings properly to keep them in their best condition.
What is the difference between sterling silver and silver-plated earrings?

Sterling silver is a precious metal alloy made primarily from silver, while silver-plated earrings have a thin layer of silver over another base metal. Sterling silver is generally valued for its durability, longevity, and quality feel, making it a more lasting choice for jewellery you want to wear and keep over time.
Do sterling silver earrings tarnish over time?

Like all precious metals, sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time when exposed to air, moisture, and everyday elements. This is a normal characteristic of silver and not a flaw. With gentle care and occasional polishing, sterling silver earrings can easily maintain their shine and continue to look beautiful for years to come.
How do I clean sterling silver earrings at home?

To care for sterling silver earrings at home, simply wipe them gently with a soft, dry polishing cloth after wear. Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive moisture, and direct contact with perfume or lotion. When not in use, store them separately in a dry place to help preserve their finish.
Which silver earrings are best for everyday wear?

The best silver earrings for everyday wear are styles that feel comfortable, versatile, and easy to pair with your wardrobe. Stud earrings, small hoops, and softly sculptural silver designs are all elegant choices for daily dressing. Whether you prefer something minimal or a more distinctive silhouette, sterling silver offers a timeless balance of simplicity and refinement.
