925 Sterling Silver vs Pure Silver Anklets — What's the Difference?
925 Sterling Silver means 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% copper. The copper adds strength — pure 99.9% silver is too soft to hold intricate anklet designs and would bend out of shape within weeks of wear. Every silver anklet on Shining Silver is 925 sterling silver, BIS-hallmarked, and built to last decades with basic care. If a seller advertises "pure silver anklet" and it's clearly holding a delicate design, they mean 925 sterling — the terms are used interchangeably in the Indian jewellery market.
How to Care for Your Silver Anklet
Silver anklets darken with time — this is normal oxidation, not a defect. To keep yours bright:
- Wipe with a soft cotton cloth after each wear to remove sweat and moisture.
- Store in a zip-lock pouch (included with every order) to slow tarnishing.
- Remove before showering, swimming, or applying lotions and perfumes.
- Clean monthly with lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft toothbrush. Pat dry.
- For oxidised Rajasthani payals — do NOT polish with silver cleaner; it will strip the antique finish. Just wipe gently.
The Cultural Significance of Silver Payal in India
The tradition of wearing silver on the feet — rather than gold — dates back thousands of years in Indian culture. Ayurveda considers silver a cooling metal that balances body heat when worn on the lower body. Culturally, gold is reserved for the upper body as it's considered sacred; silver, worn on the feet, symbolises humility, marital status (for suhagan women), and prosperity walking into the home. The soft chime of ghungroo bells traditionally announced a woman's presence and continues to be part of every Indian bride's solah shringar (sixteen adornments). At Shining Silver, we honour that heritage — every Rajasthani payal in our collection is handcrafted by karigars whose families have been making silver anklets for four generations.
