cicitan2010 (15) 2 years ago

My friend David bought a fashionable jewelry for his new girl friend Mary.It is nice and shining and Daivd thought she must like it very much.But Mary was angry and said to David that why you bought me such a piece of jewelry without value.It is a fake one.David was surprised that actually Mary is professional on distinguishing jewelry.Mary taught David how to distinguish silver jewelry's quality .I think it is very useful to us and share with you :

1.Use your eyes to have a look at color,if it is white and shining.it should be in good quality.

2.Use your hands to bend it.if it is easy to bend and not easy to break,it should in be good quality.

3.Use your hands to throw it,if it is bounces a little and sounds is stable ,it should be in good quality.

4.Use chemical reagent to test it,if its color tends to be light,it should be in good quality.

Silver like Gold has a Hallmark to ID it is Silver.
If it does not have that forget it.
If it is not marked more than like it is not Silver no matter what other may say.

Gold will have on the (if we are speaking rings) on the inner band 9ct/18ct this is English or even Australian Gold, but the USA has 15kt or maybe 17kt for Gold.

Silver will have, 925 (Pure Silver ,Sterling) or could have 725 on the inner ring. This is the cheaper silver but still silver.

If I was selling you silver I would not let you near it if you thought you would want to bend it. That means nothing.
Gold and Silver are Soft Metals and will bend.

Now Pewter is like Silver and many times is sold as silver, but it will not have the Silver 925 0r 725 hall mark on it.
