Yes, if it is stated that it is silver in the listing it is 925 Sterling Silver. This is 92.5 Pure silver with 7.5 percent base metals to give the silver strength as pure silver is very soft.

Gold plating is a fine layer of real gold on a base metal, usually brass or stainless steel. The layer can be 0.25 to 2.5 microns thick. The thicker the layer, the more robust the jewellery. A lot of our jewellery is PVD, (please see other FAQ's for an explanation) this makes the item is far more durable than traditional gold plating.

PVD; Physical Vapour Deposition is a new technique of coating metal, when gold is applied to metal in this way it is a lot more durable and has a greater resistance to wear than traditional gold plating.

The term vermeil can only be used when the gold coating is placed over Sterling silver, the gold can be different thicknesses and karats, e.g 9K, 14K etc. When the gold wears off it will reveal the silver beneath, this is product has high hypoallergenic properties.

Gold fill is placed on metal by bonding it rather than being dipped. It is much thicker than gold plate and have at least 5% gold and is Hallmarked GF. Gold-filled jewellery is a lot more durable than traditional gold plate, with care it will last the wearer a lifetime.
