Why are there so many categories of silver?
925 silver: refers to silver that contains 92.5% silver, which is recognized as the standard for pure silver according to international standards. 100% silver is relatively soft, cannot be shaped during production, making it inconvenient for creating silver jewelry, and it is also prone to "oxidation," commonly known as "tarnishing."

Plain silver
Plain silver: 925 silver plated with white rhodium (commonly referred to as platinum in the industry), which can significantly delay the yellowing and blackening of silver under oxidation or sulfide conditions. In the industry, 925 silver without white rhodium plating is called 'plain silver', which oxidizes more easily in the air. A large proportion of the 925 silver products sold on the market are plain silver to reduce costs.
Thai silver
Thai silver: a specialty of Thailand, with a standard of 925 silver content. It lacks brightness on the surface and pursues an 'ancient' or 'old' 'antique silver' effect. Compared to 925 silver jewelry plated with white rhodium, its price is relatively lower due to a less widespread consumer base.
Tibetan silver
Tibetan silver: generally does not contain any actual silver; it is a refined term for white copper (copper-nickel alloy). Traditionally, Tibetan silver consists of 30% silver and 70% copper, but even this traditional craft of 'Tibetan silver' is no longer seen in the market; it has mostly been replaced by pure white copper.
Miao Silver
Miao Silver: refers to pure silver itself and has long been an important ornament and wedding item in Miao areas. However, what is referred to as Miao Silver is not pure; its main component is copper with a low content of silver. Its main characteristics are handmade craftsmanship from Miao regions, featuring exquisite patterns rich in meaning.
