Perthshire Smoky Quartz Sterling Silver Wrap Ring

A sibling of Cairngorm Quartz,  this is an exceptional Smoky Quartz which has been sourced from the Grampian Mountains range in Perth & Kinross. The quartz from this area can display a light smoky appearance through to slightly darker smoke with hints of golden colour. Clean stones produce fantastic fire and sparkle when facet cut! The Grampians have been designated as a National Nature Reserve since 1964, making these spectacular quartz specimens rare and highly desirable.

Why do silversmiths use 925% silver? Pure silver, measured at 999 parts per thousand, is too soft for practical use. To increase its hardness, silversmiths mix it with other metals. While purer silver has a higher polish, it is also less durable. Conversely, harder metals are more durable but tarnish more easily due to their lower silver content. Thus, the silver industry has established a standard of 925 parts per thousand for fine silver, known as "sterling silver."
