Silver jewelry

The number 925 stands for the silver percentage. In 925 Sterling Silver the silver percentage is 92.5%. In addition, copper is the main component. We do not use low quality metals like nickel. Sterling silver is the optimum and highest quality alloy for silver jewelry.

A Vermeil gold plating is a very high-quality gold plating of jewelry. It differs from conventional gold plating in the thickness of the gold layer and the quality. A Vermeil gilding must be minimum 2.5 micrometres, with minimum 10k gold and have only sterling silver as a base. We at Pukka Berlin even have 3.0 micrometres of 18k gold on our silver rings.

No, we deliberately avoid these materials at Pukka Berlin. We utilise exclusively the precious metals gold, silver and platinum which do not cause allergic reactions. There are very rare cases of allergies to silver or gold. We highly recommend platinum, which is antiallergenic.

Yes, we recommend removing your jewelry before entering into the chlorinated water, but also in the shower or in salt water. However, Pukka Berlin works with a high-quality nano-coating that prevents the tarnishing of gold-plated silver and silver jewelry.
