Is a 925 diamond ring real?
1 Answer

Whether a 925 diamond ring is real or not will vary. The hallmark 925 doesn't tell you anything about the stones a ring contains. Rather, it is a marking that signifies that a ring is made of sterling silver, a precious metal that is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy metal. Jewelry makers do craft genuine diamond rings out of sterling silver, but a sterling silver setting may also be paired with cubic zirconia, crystal, glass, acrylic and other materials. To find out whether your ring has a real diamond, consider taking it to a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler for an evaluation. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of sterling silver rings.
