Idols

“925 Silver Handmade” refers to silver items that are both made by hand and crafted from **925 sterling silver**.

– **925 Silver (Sterling Silver)**: This means the item is made of **92.5% pure silver** and **7.5% other metals** (usually copper) to improve durability. Pure silver (99.9%) is too soft for most jewelry and idol-making, so it’s mixed with other metals for strength.
– **Handmade**: This means the item is crafted manually by artisans, rather than being mass-produced using machines. Handmade silver idols often have intricate detailing and unique designs.

If you’re referring to **”handmade casted”** idols, it means the idol is first cast using a mold (lost wax or sand casting), and then refined, polished, and detailed by hand.
