What does 925 mean?

Understand sterling silver, plating and the difference between a number and a UK hallmark.

A bracelet can hold a holiday, a friendship or a new beginning. Our independent guides help you choose the details with confidence: what fits, what a material description means and how to look after the piece you choose.

Start with something useful

New to charms? Begin with choosing a first charm bracelet. Adding to a collection? Check charm compatibility before you buy. Choosing for someone else? The gift finder helps turn a thoughtful idea into a practical shortlist.

A little knowledge makes a difference

A silver-coloured finish does not tell you what is underneath. A bracelet length does not tell you how it will feel once charms are added. And a meaningful motif works best when it means something to the person wearing it.

Explore materials and care, sizing and fit, and jewellery gifts for clear explanations you can use while comparing pieces.
