Here at Annie Haak, our entire jewellery range is crafted using 925 Sterling Silver. We work closely with talented silversmiths in Bali to bring you stunning designs, to last for years to come!
We can assure you that the answer is yes! As a precious metal, silver is naturally very malleable. Whilst pure silver is too soft to be used for day-to-day jewellery, it can be made stronger by mixing with other metals, such as copper or zinc.
This alloy is 925 Sterling Silver, consisting of 92.5% pure silver, and 7.5% other metals. Sterling Silver is ideal for jewellery making, as it is soft enough to be formed into beautiful designs, but strong enough to withstand daily wear. 925 Sterling Silver is an overall stronger material than pure silver - meaning that, when cared for correctly, your jewellery can last a lifetime!
As Sterling Silver has a lower percentage of silver than pure silver, it is a more affordable option than pure gold or pure silver jewellery. This makes it an ideal and high quality choice for building your dream jewellery collection with. 925 Sterling Silver also retains its value based on weight, meaning that your special pieces are also an investment!
If your Sterling Silver jewellery starts to change colour, don’t worry! Silver naturally oxidises when in contact with oxygen and moisture - so whilst you may find your favourite pieces tarnished after sitting in your jewellery box for a while, they can always be returned to their shining glory with the use of a silver polishing cloth and some love!
With proper jewellery care, you can slow down the tarnishing process. It is recommended to remove any 925 Sterling Silver jewellery when showing, bathing, swimming, or engaging in heavy exercise. However don’t panic if you realise you’re still wearing your Sterling Silver earrings in the shower - just make sure to pat dry thoroughly and move them into a dry environment.
We would also suggest putting jewellery on last when dressing - this is because perfume, body spray, and hairspray often include chemicals which can cause silver to react. The same goes for cleaning products, so be careful and remove jewellery when on a cleaning spree!
Storing Sterling Silver jewellery in an air-tight place is also recommended to stave off tarnish. High quality jewellery boxes are ideal for storage, keeping your silver protected from its environment. Organise and protect your Annie Haak jewellery collection with a STACKERS Jewellery Box.

An easy way to spot if a piece is genuine Sterling Silver, is by checking if it is stamped. All of our 925 Sterling Silver is marked with a ‘925’ stamp, to assure you that your jewellery is genuine sterling silver.
Yes! One of the reasons we love working with sterling silver, is because it is endlessly recyclable. We minimise our impact on the planet by melting and reusing the Silver from pieces that don't pass our quality control. No value is lost when recycling sterling silver, meaning these pieces can find a second life as a new piece of jewellery whilst minimising material waste!
Overall, Sterling Silver is a fabulous choice, adding style, elegance, and longevity to your jewellery collection.
