How Much is a Silver 925 Emerald?
The Legacy of Emerald in Jewelry Design
No one liked emeralds and emerald jewelry more than Elizabeth Taylor (or her alter ego, Cleopatra). Emeralds were first discovered in Egypt around 330 BC. The stone’s name originated from the ancient Greek word for green, “smaragdus.” According to the Gemological Institute of America, “Emeralds from what is now Colombia were part of the plunder when 16th-century Spanish explorers invaded the New World. The Incas had already been using emeralds in their jewelry and religious ceremonies for 500 years. The Spaniards, who treasured gold and silver far more than gems, traded emeralds for precious metals. Their trades opened the eyes of European and Asian royalty to emerald’s majesty.”
There are numerous myths attributed to the emerald’s spiritual powers, like placing an emerald under your tongue will allow you to see the future. But be careful not to swallow the birthstone for May, or that future won’t be so bright!
There are many important (read: large) emeralds in museum collections around the world. The Patricia Emerald, named after the miner’s daughter, is a 632-carat dihexagonal (or 12-sided) crystal that was discovered in Colombia in 1920 and now resides at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington has in its possession the Hooker Emerald, a 75.47-carat Colombian stone. That emerald had been acquired in the 16th or 17th century by Spanish conquistadores and shipped to Europe. It later belonged to Abdul Hamid II, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire (1876–1909), who wore it on his belt buckle. Purchased at auction by Tiffany Co. in 1911, the Hooker Emerald was set into a tiara and featured in the New York World’s Fair “House of Jewels” exhibit in 1940. Today, it is part of a brooch, also designed by the jewelry house.

- Does 925 silver tarnish?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Yes, 925 silver can tarnish. However, it is more resistant to tarnishing than other forms of silver. Tarnishing occurs when 925 silver, also called sterling silver, reacts with compounds present in the environment, causing discoloration. Sweat, chemicals in perfumes and skin care products, chlorine in pool water and salty air can all contribute to tarnishing. To protect your 925 silver jewelry, remove it before you bathe, shower, complete your skin care routine, swim or perform tasks that involve the use of chemicals. Find a wide variety of sterling silver jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024No, not all sterling silver is marked 925. Although all sterling silver usually features hallmarks, these markings do vary. You may sometimes see STERLING or STER used in place of 925. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of sterling silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects from some of the world's top sellers.
- Is 925 silver worth anything?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021925 silver, also known as sterling silver, can definitely be valuable. It is called 925 silver because it's 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper or another metal.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Although you can shower with 925 sterling silver jewelry on, it is better to remove it prior to bathing. Exposure to water is unlikely to damage the metal, especially if you dry it off promptly after you shower. However, chemicals found in soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner and other personal care products could react with the precious metal and cause tarnishing. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of sterling silver jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not 925 sterling silver is good quality is largely a matter of personal opinion. Sterling with this mark is 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper or another metal. The addition of the alloy metal helps prevent tarnishing. Shop a variety of sterling silver jewelry, decorative objects and serveware on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024Many jewelry lovers believe that 925 sterling silver is worth buying. Not only is the cool color of sterling silver visually appealing, but the metal is also fairly resistant to scratching. Compared to fine silver, sterling is also less likely to tarnish. The benefits of sterling silver have led many well-known jewelry makers to craft pieces out of the material. Among them are Tiffany Co., David Yurman, Alex Jona and J Dauphin. However, whether or not it's worth investing in sterling silver jewelry is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find sterling silver jewelry and other jewelry on 1stDibs.
