925 Silver Necklaces, Sweat and Tarnish: A Care Decision

925 silver is 92.5 percent silver; choose it for the material and design, with a care routine that accounts for the finish and any stones.

By RAWNESS Editorial · Updated November 8, 2026. RAWNESS is a Los Angeles fitness jewelry brand. This is our brand buying guide, written from the current catalog; recommendations reflect our design point of view.

Separate a metal definition from a wear promise

The 925 designation is a composition statement, not a waterproof rating. Sterling silver can develop tarnish, and a piece may include coatings, clasps or settings that need their own care. A claim about the base metal alone cannot establish how the entire necklace responds to sweat, pool chemicals or impact.

The RAWNESS Crystal-Set Dumbbell combines 925 silver with crystals. That means a cleaning decision must consider both the metal and the stone setting. Treat it as a complete jewelry piece rather than applying a bare-silver cleaning hack to every surface.

Build the routine around removal and dry storage

Our recommendation is to remove the necklace before heavy lifting, swimming and showering. After ordinary wear, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth and store it dry and separate. Do not experiment with toothpaste, abrasive powders or a strong dip on an unknown finish. If tarnish or a loose setting appears, ask for product-specific guidance instead of increasing scrubbing pressure.

Frequently asked questions

Does 925 mean pure silver?

It denotes 92.5 percent silver; the remaining proportion is other alloying metal.

Can I clean every silver piece the same way?

No. Check coatings, stones and manufacturer instructions before using a cleaner.

Choose the piece for life around training

Remove jewelry before heavy lifting, contact sports and activities where it could catch on equipment. A training symbol is an everyday accessory, not performance equipment. Follow the care instructions for the individual metal, finish and stones.
