Your Silver Jewellery: Real Or Fake?

The silver market is growing with lightening speed, with the increase in the popularity of silver; the amount of fake silver jewellery has also increased. When buying silver jewellery especially silver bracelets , silver pendants and earrings, it’s very necessary to know if it’s genuine. Original sterling silver jewellery will have a stamp that says ‘sterling ‘or the 92.5% stamp. Another way to test silver jewellery especially chains is by using nitric acid. Apply nitric acid to a part of the chain that is not noticeable and the change in color will tell you if you jewellery is fake or real.
