How to identify the true and false of sterling silver jewelry

Sterling silver jewelry has been booming with the jewelry market in the past two years. You can see sterling silver jewelry everywhere. Even our circle of friends and short video platforms sell silver jewelry. The increasing demand is accompanied by uneven quality of silver jewelry. It is not ruled out that some unscrupulous merchants adulterate silver jewelry for immediate benefit. So how do we consumers identify the authenticity of a piece of silver jewelry?　　 1. First, let’s learn about sterling silver jewelry. Many people have traditional thinking about silver and think that sterling silver jewelry is white. This traditional way of thinking about sterling silver jewelry is wrong. Because with the development of modern silver jewelry, when we produce silver jewelry, a protective layer is plated on the surface. The significance of the electroplating layer is to prevent the oxidation of silver and prolong the time for the surface to shine. With the popular trend, there are gold-plated silver, platinum-plated, silver-plated, rose gold-plated and so on. So sterling silver jewelry is not necessarily all white.　　2. To distinguish a piece of sterling silver jewelry depends on its hardness. Everyone knows that sterling silver is relatively soft. But pure silver will increase its hardness a little after being electroplated. When distinguishing the material, we must pay attention to it. If it is too hard, it may not be made of pure silver, but may be electroplated with copper or stainless steel. If it is too soft, it may not be sterling silver. Now many businesses have caught the hearts of consumers and believe that silver jewelry is very soft. In fact, the material that is too soft may be aluminum or some alloy material. Today's sterling silver jewelry is basically electroplated, and its hardness should be relatively moderate.　　 3. To distinguish a sterling silver jewelry depends on its weight. To distinguish the weight, we must look at the density of each metal. The higher the density, the heavier the weight. (The specific density of various metals can be checked on Baidu) Here I will talk about the density of metals commonly used in jewelry. From high to low, they are gold, silver, copper, steel, iron, alloy, and aluminum. So we can conclude that the material of a piece of jewelry is different, and the feel of it in the hand is also different.　　Identify whether a piece of jewelry is pure silver or not. If you look at the above points and then look at the details of the workmanship, you can basically identify whether it is pure silver or not. Here to remind consumers that if they need to buy or customize silver jewelry, they must choose regular stores and manufacturers.
