92.5% silver content is an internationally recognized general standard. In addition, 92.5% is also the most suitable purity for making necklaces, bracelets, earrings and other accessories. So these two signs are the most common signs.

This sign is more common on bracelets, and it is also used on silver ingots, silver ingots, silver ornaments and other large pieces of silver ornaments. Just like commemorative silver ingots sometimes issued by banks, they are usually marked with s990.

Speaking of Tibetan silver, many friends who don't know it may think that it is from Tibet, and it is really misled by the name "Tibetan silver". Tibetan silver actually refers to silver with low purity, which is an alloy and an elegant name for white copper (copper-nickel alloy).

Tibetan silver is generally composed of 30% silver and 70% copper. This kind of silver jewelry is not common in Tibet, but also found in handmade jewelry in the Middle East such as India and Nepal. Real Tibetan silver is usually very textured and will be matched with special ornaments such as red coral and turquoise.

Sixth place: Miao Yin.

In the past, Miao Yin contained 20-60% silver, and its main components were silver, copper and nickel. In fact, Miao silver ornaments are all full of silver, not only pure but also exquisite. But now many so-called "Miao Yin" on the market are actually plated with copper and silver.
