Metals

Sterling silver

Silver is known for its soft, white surface and is Pandora's signature metal, with the majority of our jewellery created from it.

It's standard practice to alloy pure silver with harder metals to improve its strength. Pandora jewellery regularly uses sterling silver: the world’s most popular silver alloy.

Using sterling silver alloys

To be classed as sterling silver, the alloy must contain at least 92.5% pure silver, whereas the remaining 7.5% can be made up of other metals – most commonly copper.

It's still mainly pure silver

Sterling silver is ideal for jewellery use as it preserves the colour, lustre and mass of pure silver while significantly improving the metal’s durability, making it more resistant to wear and tear, meaning your favourite pieces last longer.

An oxidised finish is frequently used on sterling silver to highlight detail. The oxidation process imitates the natural tarnishing process, which happens to all silver over time and leaves the sterling silver with a darker finish.

The kindest kind of silver

Love the earth that loves you. In 2020, about 60% of the silver and gold in Pandora's jewellery came from recycled sources. Now, we have set a target that by 2025 all of these metals must come from recycled sources.
