?Recognizing the true silver?

[gbjetnet]

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!

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!

You could try taking it to Lisa Moss's stall on Northcross road on Saturday and ask her, she works with silver and may be able to help.
