KNOWING IF IT'S A SILVER JEWEL -
HOUSTON TEXAS
How do I know if it is a silver jewel or other material that I am buying? Many of our clients ask us.
IS IT REALLY A SILVER JEWEL?
Sometimes we have the doubt of whether it is silver or other material when we have bought silver or we see some silver accessory from our jeweler years ago.
Now, how can we differentiate our silver or some jewel of silver we have, others with a dip in silver, or other metal plating having the same appearance of silver?
Key points to know if a jewel is a silver
- The jewelry silver normally carry a guarantee seal on putting 925, it is likely that some do not take the size of the jewel or by design, so do not worry about it.
- The price of silver jewelry is also an important factor in the quality of silver if you go to a jewelry store or online shopping find out if it is sterling silver or a simple silver bath.
- An infallible trick is that silver jewelry is not attracted to a magnet.
- A silver jewelry is very malleable, that is if you take an earring and the stick you bend it very carefully and it bends it means that it is silver, if it is not silver the stick does not bend and it is very hard, it is directly broken.
- The silver jewelry is oxidized by contact of the fat from the skin and the air, but silver can be cleaned with a special product or with a little soap and water should return to its original color, if not return to Its original color is because it is not silver.
- If you take a tool where you can scratch a little (very carefully) the silver jewel and it looks a coppery color is because it is not silver if it does not go its original color is because it is silver.
- Our recommendation is that if you have any doubts go to a nearby and trusted jewelry and they will tell you whether or not it is a silver jewel.
