Sterling silver

Silver is known for its soft, white surface and is Pandora's signature metal, with the majority of our jewellery created from it.

Fact: 1 of 5

Using sterling silver alloys

It's standard practice to alloy pure silver with harder metals to improve its strength. Pandora jewellery regularly uses sterling silver: the world’s most popular silver alloy.

Fact: 2 of 5

It's still mainly pure silver

To be classed as sterling silver, the alloy must contain at least 92.5% pure silver, whereas the remaining 7.5% can be made up of other metals – most commonly copper.

Fact: 3 of 5

Same colour, same lustre, same mass

Sterling silver is ideal for jewellery use as it preserves the colour, lustre and mass of pure silver while significantly improving the metal’s durability, making it more resistant to wear and tear, meaning your favourite pieces last longer.

Fact: 4 of 5

The natural tarnish of silver

An oxidised finish is frequently used on sterling silver to highlight detail. The oxidation process imitates the natural tarnishing process, which happens to all silver over time and leaves the sterling silver with a darker finish.
