Silver Jewellery FAQs | Hardik Jewels

Q: What is 92.5 sterling silver jewellery?

92.5 sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper) for strength. The 925 standard makes jewellery durable while keeping its bright shine. All Hardik Jewels jewellery uses this 92.5 sterling silver standard.

Q: Is sterling silver good for daily wear and sensitive skin?

Yes. 92.5 sterling silver is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, so it is safe for most sensitive skin and durable enough for daily wear rings, earrings, and chains.

Q: Does silver jewellery tarnish, and how do I care for it?

Silver can naturally darken over time due to air, moisture, perfume, and sweat, but it is easily prevented. Store pieces airtight, wear jewellery after perfume and lotion, remove before bathing or swimming, and wipe with a soft cloth after wear.

Q: How do I clean silver jewellery at home?

Mix a few drops of mild soap in warm water, soak the piece briefly, gently rub with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and pat dry. For stubborn tarnish use a silver polishing cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbers.

Q: How long does delivery take?

Most orders are delivered within 4 to 7 business days across India depending on location. Tracking details are shared once your order is dispatched.

Q: How do I choose the right ring size?

Measure the inner diameter of a ring that fits you, or wrap paper around your finger and measure its length in millimetres, then match it to a standard ring-size chart. If between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.

Q: Sterling silver vs imitation jewellery: which should I buy?

For jewellery that lasts, keeps its value, and is skin-friendly, 92.5 sterling silver is better than imitation metal. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure, durable, nickel-free, and retains value, while plated jewellery wears off quickly and has little value.
