TIPS TO CHECK REAL STERLING SILVER JEWELLERY

LOOK FOR HALLMARK Quality of products matters a lot when you are investing your hard-earned money This is where it becomes important that you check the quality by testing if the material is authentic To check 925 hallmark, look for a stamp with the symbols “Ster,” “925” or “Sterling Silver”

NITRIC ACID TEST There might be cases when sterling silver jewellery doesn't have any stamp or hallmark to check for authenticity This is where you can use nitric acid to determine if the piece is made of real 925 sterling silver If the silver used is unpure or fake, metals become green colorated and you can find some bubbles Remember to carry out the test after wearing gloves and goggles to prevent any injuries

MAGNET TEST Another interesting way to verify sterling silver authenticity is using the magnet test To test the authenticity of pure silver, bring a magnet near the jewellery piece and hold it above it Pure silver isn't magnetic, and 92.5% pure sterling silver shouldn't attract a magnet If you find the magnet sticks, then understand there is another significant meatal along with silver

GO FOR RUBBING TEST The easiest way to test for 925 sterling silver jewellery is to go for the rub test Use a soft cloth to rub your silver jewellery piece to check the surface If you find any black mark on the cloth, then you should be satisfied about the purity of your sterling silver piece as real silver oxidizes on exposure to the air, thereby the tarnish left on the cloth
