What does 725 mean on jewelry?

Answer 1

Well, darling, 725 on jewelry means it's 72.5% pure gold. It's typically used in European countries as a gold purity mark. So, if you see 725 stamped on a piece of bling, you can feel fancy knowing it's almost three-quarters gold.

Answer 2

I purchased a a small jewelry cross that was advertised as .725 sterling silver. As it turned out it was actually a copper cross covered with silver. So when an item is stamped .725 it is an item that is a base metal item covered with a precious metal coat.
