Purity guide
22K gold and 925 silver, explained without jargon
Two numbers decide most of what you'll pay and how a piece behaves over the years: 916 for gold, 925 for silver. This page explains both in plain language so you can walk into any shop — including ours — knowing what to ask.
Side by side
22K gold vs 925 silver
| 22K gold (916) | 925 sterling silver | |
|---|---|---|
| Purity | ≈ 91.6% pure gold (stamped 916) | 92.5% pure silver (stamped 925) |
| Typical use | Bridal sets, gifting, long-term holding | Everyday wear, festive looks, gifts |
| Durability | Softer than 18K; handle intricate work with care | Hard-wearing, but tarnishes and cleans up |
| Price driver | Metal weight dominates the invoice | Making charges often exceed metal value |
| Resale | Widely traded by weight and purity | Bought more for wear than for resale |
