On the other hand, .925 (note the decimal point in front and the lack of a K on the end) is another way of representing "Sterling Silver," which is 925/1000 parts pure silver. The other .075 in the U.S. is copper. Hope this helps, KG |

It means sterling silver. Sterling is comprised of 925 parts fine or pure
silver and 75 parts copper. Marisa "Mark W" wrote in message ... I see a lot of jewellery items advertised as '925K silver', what is this exactly? |
