What Is Sterling Silver?
Not all silver is created equal. For long-lasting quality and comfort, Vermont Gem Lab uses .925 sterling silver, the industry standard for fine jewelry.
What does .925 mean?
It means the silver is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (usually copper), added for strength. Pure silver is too soft for everyday wear, but sterling silver strikes the perfect balance between softness and durability.
Advantages:
- Hypoallergenic for most skin types
- Long-lasting with proper care
- Easy to polish, refinish, or repair
- Excellent for detailed custom engraving
We can also oxidize or patina silver to give your ring a bold, darkened appearance with increased depth and contrast.
Custom Silver Rings, Built Around You
At Vermont Gem Lab, every silver ring is handcrafted, never mass-produced. Our process is fully collaborative, so your ring reflects your identity, values, and story.
Options to Personalize Your Ring:
- Stone Selection – Add birthstones, black diamonds, or your favorite gems
- Custom Engraving – Include initials, phrases, Roman numerals, or fingerprints
- Metal Pairing – Combine silver with gold or platinum for contrast
- Band Width and Profile – Choose narrow or wide, flat or domed
- Finish & Texture – Hammered, sandblasted, satin, brushed, oxidized

When to Gift a Men’s Silver Ring
A ring is one of the most symbolic gifts a man can receive. Silver is especially fitting for occasions where meaning is everything.
Popular Occasions:
- Anniversary – A custom silver band can commemorate years together
- Engagement or Wedding – A refined alternative to gold, perfect for modern men
- Graduation or Milestone – A symbol of independence and success
- Father’s Day or Birthday – Personalized with children’s birthstones or engravings
- Memorial Jewelry – A subtle remembrance that can be worn daily
- Style Upgrade – Because he deserves to express himself
Whether it’s for someone special or yourself, a silver ring makes a timeless and wearable tribute.
Caring for Your Silver Ring
Silver is durable, but like any fine metal, it benefits from a little TLC.
Silver Care Tips:
- Polish regularly with a soft cloth to maintain shine
- Avoid moisture and harsh chemicals (chlorine, bleach, etc.)
- Store in a soft pouch or anti-tarnish bag
- Use a mild soap and water mix for occasional deep cleaning
- Oxidized or textured rings may require professional cleaning to preserve the finish
If your ring develops tarnish or scratches over time, we offer professional polishing and refinishing services at Vermont Gem Lab.
