Can a sterling silver ring be resized?

Yes. Sterling silver is worked by any bench jeweller, and we resize free for as long as you own the ring.

Is sterling silver hard wearing?

Its surface sits at Mohs 2.75. For comparison, airborne dust contains quartz at Mohs 7, which is why anything below that picks up fine scratches from ordinary wear. This is well below it, so expect marks. They polish out.

Is sterling silver hallmarked?

Yes, at the Birmingham Assay Office. Gold over 1g and platinum over 0.5g must legally carry a UK hallmark, and ours do.

How heavy is a sterling silver ring?

10.5 grams per cubic centimetre. Titanium is the lightest thing we make at 4.5 and platinum the heaviest at 21.4, so this sits in the middle of the range.

Is sterling silver safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. It contains no nickel, which is the metal that causes almost all jewellery reactions.

925 sterling, hallmarked and resizable like any precious metal, and by a distance the least expensive way to own one. It is also the softest thing we sell, which is the part most shops leave out.

Heavy manual work

Honestly

At Mohs 2.75 it marks faster than gold, and gold already marks. It polishes out and we will do that free, but if scratches will bother you, spend the difference on 9ct.
