Why 925 Silver?

At Lox and Chain, we're all about creating more than jewelry. Our pieces are created to hold memories, moments, and symbols of individuality. At the heart of everything we create is 925 sterling silver, a material that embodies our commitment to quality, sustainability, and timeless design. But what makes 925 silver so special?

Let’s dive in.

The Foundation of 925 Silver Jewelry

925 sterling silver isn’t just beautiful; it’s built to last. Comprising of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper, this combination creates a material that is strong enough to withstand everyday wear as 100% silver is too soft. You can guarantee 925 silver maintains the lustrous shine that makes silver so desirable. Unlike lower-quality metals, 925 silver ensures your jewelry not only looks incredible but also stands the test of time. Lifeproof we like to call it.

To keep your sterling silver pieces looking their best, store them in a cool, dry place and use a soft polishing cloth for occasional cleaning. Tips for maintaining your silver jewelry: https://loxandchain.com.au/pages/care-guide

Why is 925 Silver our First Choice

When Lox and Chain was born in 2020, our mission was clear: to create high-quality and authentic, meaningful designs crafted for people who want more from their accessories. Frei’s quest for the perfect pair of earrings for Zak revealed a gap in the market for innovative men’s jewelry crafted from premium materials. Enter 925 silver.

Here’s why it’s our metal of choice:

  1. Durability: Its strength makes it ideal for crafting intricate designs that last.

  2. Hypoallergenic Qualities: Perfect for sensitive skin, 925 silver offers irritation-free wear.

  3. Sustainability Focus: As a recycled and recyclable material, sterling silver aligns with our values of responsible manufacturing.

  4. Timeless: Its versatility means it pairs with any outfit, making it the ultimate “wear your story every day” material.

The Art of Crafting with 925 Silver

Every Lox and Chain piece begins as a vision. Zak, our Co Founder heads up lead design with beginning sketches and illustrations of initial concepts.  

From there, our team meticulously hand-carves wax models and transforms raw 925 silver into the intricate designs that resonate with our community. Our in-house design process emphasises precision, detail, and innovation, ensuring every piece feels as unique as the story it represents. As we hand-finish every piece, every order is one-of-a-kind.

By choosing 925 silver, we ensure every piece lives up to our promise of quality and authenticity. It’s not just about creating jewelry; it’s about crafting legacies in silver.
