These are some questions that our customers always ask us, how do we know if what I buy is silver? The silver rings that I bought yesterday online, are they silver? Well, it firstly depends on the store you are relying on. Rest, here is a piece of advice from the expert team who can help you identify and distinguish silver from other elements.
In previous posts, we already explained what 925 sterling silver means. It means that for every 1000 milligrams that weigh a piece, 925 ml. is pure silver and the rest 75 milligrams is another metal, in our case it is copper. Since pure silver is very malleable (soft) and you could not work with it, that’s why it mixes, and copper gives it hardness so that our craftsmen can create these beautiful jewels. Hence people may have allergies, it is not silver that can cause that dermatitis, but the alloy, so reputed online jewelry stores always use copper since it is a metal that does not cause allergies.
Now, how can we differentiate our silver or some designer silver earrings you have, of others with a bath in silver, a plating or other metal that has the same appearance of silver?
The Silver Jewels must carry a marked seal of guarantee with the number 925, although if you do not wear it, you worry us because it could be that because of its size or design could not be marked.
The price is also an important factor since the pieces of silver have a minimum value that is quoted in a bag per gram, such as gold if you are going to buy a silver jewel and you are surprised that it is very cheap to find out if it is sterling silver or a simple bath.
Another simple trick is that silver jewelry is not attracted to a magnet.
As we have said before, the silver is very malleable so a thing, but that has to be done with great care, is, for example, to fold little bit by little the stick of a button earring (very carefully). You will see that you can easily put it back in its place. If it is not silver, it will be very hard, or it will break.
The silver is oxidized by prolonged contact with the air and with the sweat of a person, A piece of silver should be able to be cleaned easily with some product or simply with soap and water and should return to its original tone without any change. Otherwise, it is not silver.
If you have any piece that you can scratch (very carefully) you will see that the tone of the jewel should be the same if you notice that it changes color where you have scratched a copper color, for example, it will be a piece bathed in silver.
And the simplest of all is if we know some and buy silver jewelry online India from trustworthy jewelry that can test us and ensure its authenticity.
