What is Argento 925 and How is it Processed

When it comes to silver jewelry, the term "925 silver" is often mentioned, but what does it actually mean? And why is it so important in the production of high-quality jewelry? In this article, we will explain everything you need to know about 925 silver and the processing that makes the jewelry of My Mō unique in its kind.

What is Argento 925?

925 silver, also known as "sterling silver", is an alloy composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% of other metals, usually copper. Pure silver, in fact, is too soft to be used alone in jewelry production, as it scratches and deforms easily. By adding a small amount of metal, such as copper, a much more resistant and durable alloy is obtained, while still maintaining the brilliance and elegance of pure silver.

Why Do We Use Argento from My Mō?"

At My Mō, quality is our strength. The 925 silver we use to create our jewelry is carefully selected to ensure durability and beauty. Each piece is designed to last over time, maintaining its shine even with daily use. 925 silver represents the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality, ideal for those who desire a refined yet sturdy piece of jewelry.

Furthermore, our silver jewelry undergoes a certified rhodium plating treatment, which adds a protective layer to the metal, increasing durability and preventing oxidation, so that your jewelry remains always shining over time.

How is Argento 925 worked?

The processing of 925 silver requires great skill and attention to detail. Here are the main stages that we follow at My Mō to create high-quality 925 silver jewelry:

1. Fusion: Pure silver is melted together with other metals to create the 925 alloy. This step is crucial to ensure that the alloy is homogeneous and ready to be worked.

2. Processing: Once the alloy is obtained, the 925 silver is shaped through various methods such as cutting, forging, and piercing. At My Mō, each piece of jewelry is crafted with precision, using artisanal techniques combined with modern technologies to ensure perfect details.

3. Finishing: After the rough processing, the jewelry is carefully finished. This step includes polishing, to give the silver its characteristic shine, and quality control, where each piece is carefully inspected.

4. Rhodium Plating: As a final touch, we apply a protective rhodium plating on all our silver jewelry. This layer of rhodium helps prevent oxidation and ensures that your jewelry always maintains its shine.

The Advantages of Argento 925
