Hi all, I hope somebody can help me here. Recently I bought lots of silver jewellery from abroad, but I am not really sure now if it?s real silver. Not long ago I find an amazing article about ?Recognizing the true silver? unfortunately I didn?t read it all as I need it to go to work, then didn?t have time for the next few days until last night to go back on the website, but look like these people are updating their site and I can?t see anything or maybe is something wrong with me or my computer?



This is the site: www.gemsandprettythings.com



However, if somebody knows some tricks please let me know.




Many thanks!



Jessica

That made me wonder too Jessica.


According to this lady, the only real way of finding out is using a testing kit. Although she does suggest that after testing a few bits you'll probably be able to get a pretty good idea by holding and smelling it (?!).


The best piece of advice appeared to be that since silver is so readily available, the real value in a piece of jewellery is the craftmanship and beauty of the item!

    • But in those distant days, there was no other means of communication for most people. There was semaphore, then morse code, then telegrams, then landline telephones (no idea of dates or what order they were invented or introduced).  Actual written letters might be carried around the country on horseback or in stage coaches. I'm so ancient I remember it was a big deal to get a birthday telegram on my birthday, and my parents didn't have a phone for ages. Now many things are done by email or other online methods, and most people (at least in this country) have mobiles. And if something needs a physical copy, it can usually be printed out at home (or at a print shop if you don't have a printer). So actual physical post is becoming less and less important for the vast majority of people. I'm pretty sure the idea of first and second class post was originally in terms of the time taken between posting and delivery (first class next day, second class longer) and nothing to do with the time of day things were delivered, but I stand to be corrected. If the changes mean we get things like new bank cards quicker, then great, but otherwise I can't see it's going to make much difference to most people. Even things like hospital appointments are dealt with by apps and/or email these days.
