Silver
On the label: Silver · Metal
What it is
Element 47, the whitest and most reflective metal. Pure silver is too soft for most jewelry and tarnishes in air (a sulfide film that polishes off), so jewelry silver is almost always the 925 alloy.
Metals: Solid metals: what the piece is made of all the way through. Purity is written as karat (gold) or parts per thousand (925 silver, 950 platinum).
Wikidata: Chemical element with symbol Ag and atomic number 47. Q1090 →

A paper is a paper, not a verdict: titles are listed so you can read them, and a study on one fabric or one filter says little about the piece in your hand.

Clasp & Lens describes materials from the public record and does not appraise, grade or test pieces; what a listing states is the supplier's statement. If a piece causes a rash, take it off; a reaction that spreads or blisters is a doctor's question, and sunglasses are no substitute for impact-rated eye protection where that is required.
