How can you tell if jewelry is silver?
To tell if jewelry is silver, first look for hallmarks. Genuine silver jewelry will usually feature stamps that say STER, 925, 800 or 999. Another option is to take your jewelry to an expert jeweler or certified appraiser who can examine the piece and run tests to determine if it is real silver.
