Why 925 Sterling Silver & Moissanite Are the Future of Fine Jewelry
THE OREVI SILVER JOURNAL
Brilliance Redefined.
The Science & Soul of 925 Silver & Moissanite.
For centuries, fine jewelry has been defined by rarity and price. Today, it is defined by something far more meaningful — craftsmanship, sustainability, and brilliance that lasts forever.
01 — THE MATERIAL
What Makes 925 Sterling Silver Different?
925 sterling silver — the number refers to its composition: 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% copper or other metals for strength. This is the international standard for fine silver jewelry, and it is what sets professional-grade pieces apart from costume jewelry.
At Orevi Silver, every piece starts with high-purity 925 sterling silver as the foundation. The result is a cool, bright metal with a natural luster that enhances every stone it holds — particularly moissanite, whose brilliance index rivals and often exceeds that of diamond.
"Sterling silver is not a compromise — it is a statement. It is the choice of the modern jewelry lover who values substance over status."
Purity
92.5%
Pure silver content — the benchmark of authenticated fine jewelry worldwide.
Brilliance Index
2.65 RI
Moissanite's refractive index — higher than diamond's 2.42, creating superior fire and sparkle.
Hardness
9.25 Mohs
Moissanite's hardness rating — the second hardest gemstone known, built for everyday wear.
Sustainability
Lab-Grown
Zero mining. Zero ethical compromise. Identical optical and physical properties to mined stones.
02 — THE STONE
Moissanite: Born from the Stars
First discovered in 1893 by Nobel Prize-winning chemist Henri Moissan inside a meteorite crater in Arizona, moissanite (silicon carbide) is one of the rarest naturally occurring minerals on Earth. Today, the stunning gemstone we set in every Orevi Silver piece is grown in controlled laboratory environments — achieving optical and physical properties that are virtually indistinguishable from their natural counterparts.
What sets moissanite apart is its extraordinary fire — the dispersion of light into a spectrum of colors. With a dispersion rate of 0.104, it outperforms diamond (0.044) by more than double, creating that signature rainbow sparkle that catches the eye across a room.

CARE GUIDE
How to Keep Your 925 Silver Radiant
✦ Store Separately
Keep in the Orevi silver pouch or a cool, dry place away from other jewelry to prevent scratching.
✦ Clean Gently
Use a soft polishing cloth or lukewarm water with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.
✦ Remove Before Water
Take off jewelry before swimming, bathing, or exercising to preserve the finish and extend longevity.
✦ Last On, First Off
Put your jewelry on after applying perfume, lotion, or hairspray to prevent tarnish and buildup.
