Effortless Beauty with 925 Sterling Silver Jewellery

New piercings come with many risk factors, and the right material is crucial for rapid recovery. One material that is quite popular among fashionists is 925 sterling silver piercings. 

It is obvious that new jewellery material can impact the healing process, and it highly depends on our choices. As certain materials can cause allergies so many can help avoid infections and unwanted complications. Thus, at Monster Piercings, we suggest always looking at the properties of different metals before making a decision.   

Now, let's explore the combination of sterling silver, which is 92.5% alloy, with metals like nickel and copper. Many don't recommend it as the first piercing jewellery option. If you have allergies better avoid sterling silver and go for materials like gold or titanium. 

How Is it Different to Silver?

Fine silver is almost pure silver; it's really pretty but very soft, so it's not great for making most silver jewellery. To make it stronger and more durable, we mix it with copper, and that's called sterling silver. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. You might see it labelled as '925 silver' or stamped with a 925 mark. The copper makes the silver harder and easier to work with without changing its colour. Most of the silver jewellery you buy and wear is made of sterling silver.

Cons

Sensitive Skin Beware

925 sterling silver is a low-reactive material and hypoallergenic for most people. But for those with susceptible skin, the metals alloyed with silver in 925 sterling silver, especially copper, can still cause irritation. 

Healing and Hype

925 sterling silver is a stunning choice for show-stealing piercings, but it's not often recommended for initial piercings. It can slow down the healing process of your new piercing and might increase the risk of complications. But once you're fully healed, the options are endless.
