FAQ

1. What is 925 sterling silver?

Our jewellery is crafted from 925 sterling silver, which contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. This composition gives the jewellery added strength and durability while retaining the beauty of genuine silver. The additional metals make the silver stronger and more suitable for creating durable, everyday jewellery. Selected pieces are finished with gold plating and may feature high quality cubic zirconia.

At Akara, we use 925 sterling silver because we believe jewellery should be beautiful, timeless, and made to be worn and cherished.

2. Will the jewellery tarnish?

Sterling silver naturally develops a patina over time, but with proper care, your jewellery will remain beautiful for years. Store it in a dry place and avoid contact with water, perfumes, and harsh chemicals.

3. Is your jewellery suitable for everyday wear?

Absolutely. Every Akara piece is thoughtfully designed to be comfortable, versatile, and easy to wear every day.
