by Hong(Lisa) of 8SeasonFirstly, I want to say that all
my sterling silver items are real 925 sterling silverthat is,
geposition of 92.5% pure silver and the remaining 7.5% alloy; Usually
the alloy will be copper. You can feel confident to buy them. Our

troubled by some supposed silvers items actually contain no silver at
all. Such as the German silver and nickel silver, they are just the
names for alloys that look like silver but have no silver content. Our
sterling silver is guaranteed. If you purchase any imitated items from

simple and the first line test is a piece of magnet. Put a sterling
silver item close to the magnet, if the magnet is attracted, it is not
silver.2.To test silver content, you can place a drop of silver
reagent on a notch in the metal. Pure silver will turn bright red,
while sterling will turn much darker red. Silver 800 will turn brown,
500 silver will turn green.3.Add a drop of nitric acid also can
test the sterling silver easily. Silver-plated; nickel silver or low
quality silver alloys will turn green because of the high copper
content, while the sterling will turn a creamy color.But be aware of the risk of handling the above chemicals, it is toxic and dangerous.
