WHY STERLING SILVER?

At Iris, we create jewellery that’s made to last—pieces to wear every day, love forever, and pass down.

Our choice to use sterling silver in our designs instead of stainless steel reflects this commitment, and here’s why:

Intrinsic Value

Jewellery should feel special. Made from 92.5% pure silver, sterling silver is a precious metal with real, lasting value, unlike stainless steel, which is mass-produced and disposable. This is an investment in quality with intrinsic worth, designed to be worn, cherished, and kept forever.

A Sustainable Choice

Fast fashion just isn't our style. Sterling silver is a 100% recyclable precious metal, allowing us to embrace conscious craftsmanship and ethical production—because your jewellery should be as timeless as the moments it celebrates.

Gentle on Sensitive Skin

Comfort matters. Sterling silver is naturally hypoallergenic, making it a safe choice for sensitive skin. Unlike stainless steel, which often contains nickel (a common irritant), sterling silver is gentle enough to wear every day.

Timeless Craftsmanship

Sterling silver is not only beautiful but also incredibly durable and crafted to withstand everyday wear. With proper care, these pieces will become cherished keepsakes, lasting for generations to come.

Your Choice: Sterling Silver or 14k Gold Plated

We believe in jewellery that suits your personal style. That’s why our pieces are available in solid 925 sterling silver or 14k gold plating over 925 sterling silver—giving you the option to choose between a sleek, silver finish or a warm, golden glow.

By choosing sterling silver, we’re choosing jewellery that holds meaning, value, and timeless appeal—designed to wear now and forever.
