Choose a reasonable price. The price of silver in 6 yuan ranges from 4 to 1 gram. If there is only 10 to 20 yuan on Taobao to sell a 30-gram silver bracelet, it must be a fake, because a 30-gram bracelet costs several hundred yuan. I once saw a 30g silver bracelet on Taobao, and the price was 20 yuan. At that time, I really wanted to laugh and talked to the shopkeeper. He also promised that it was real silver, and I was drunk. Finally, I saw a pair of bracelets and a pair of rings in a shop specializing in selling silver ornaments, Youpin Zhenxin Silver Jewelry Store. The price of the bracelet is more than 200 pieces,18g, and the price is reassuring, so I bought it. It is also true that the bracelet was identified, but the ring was not.
Choose a shop that only sells silver ornaments. If a store sells all kinds of things, including clothes, shoes and silver ornaments, such a store is generally not very professional, so it is more likely to contain fakes. However, Taobao seems to have fewer shops in selling groceries now, so you can rest assured when you buy it.
Ask the seller to provide an appraisal certificate. It is quite reliable to provide the appraisal certificate, but some stores need to pay the appraisal fee when providing the certificate, and the price is about 15 to 20 yuan. If you can't provide the appraisal certificate, it is recommended to refer to the price when purchasing and consider it yourself.
In addition to considering these factors, I should also learn some methods to identify the authenticity of silver ornaments, which the landlord can refer to in the following ways:
Use magnets; Maybe many friends think it's blind, but there really is such a dark merchant who uses unknown white metal to fool consumers. I once saw a person who bought silver jewelry online on a post. After receiving the goods, he was inadvertently attracted by the magnet at home, only to find that the silver jewelry was fake. Although it was bought online, it doesn't mean it isn't offline. Therefore, using magnets is also one of the ways to distinguish between true and false.
See if there is a steel seal on the silver jewelry (such as the inside of the ring, the joint of the necklace, the bottom of the pendant, etc.). ); Silver jewelry generally has the following steel seal: a pure silver has the symbol of s925 "or ag925" (the former is a little more), indicating that the metal contains 92.5% silver. This is the most common symbol and the most common jewelry on the market. B, foot silver has the symbol of s990 "or au990" (the latter is a little more), indicating that the silver content of this metal is 99%. This sign is mostly used for silver ingots, silver ingots, silver ornaments and other large pieces of silver ornaments. C, silver plating, there is a sl "or fs" steel seal on the silver plating, which shows that this kind of jewelry is silver plated, and its value need not be said by me! D, if there is no steel seal, it is most likely ordinary metal.
Check the hardness; The higher the fineness of silver jewelry, the softer the texture and the whiter and smoother the surface. Take a silver bracelet of about 60 grams as an example. If you pull it by hand, it will open and have no elasticity, and the color is about 95%. If it is a little elastic, the color is about 80%-90%; If the elasticity is large, the fineness is below 70%.
Look at the stubble; Cut or fold silver ornaments to see the color of stubble. If the jewelry is soft, the stubble is thick and soft, slightly red, and the color is about 95%; If you bend hard by hand, the stubble is white gray or reddish, and the color is about 90%; If the hardness is large, the stubble is reddish, yellowish white or light gray, and the color is about 80%; If it is a hard bend, the stubble is reddish, yellowish, khaki and other colors, and the color is about 70%; If the stubble is red, medium and black or yellow, the color is below 60%. ?
Silver drug smear test; Grind the silver ornaments on the touchstone (the same as gold inspection) and coat them with silver medicine (silver medicine is a soft mixture of silver powder and mercury), so that the color of silver medicine will be high if it is hung more, but it will be low if it is hung less, and those without silver medicine will be fakes.
Color discrimination method; Distinguish its color and authenticity with vision. High color, white, delicate, shiny, jewelry printed with manufacturers, store numbers and other signs; Low color, yellow color and rough workmanship; The fake silver jewelry is dark and not bright.
Bending method; Pinch with fingers, soft and elastic, high color, easy to bend, not easy to break; The quality of the bend is hard, or barely moving, and some can't even move their fingers; The bending of silver plating or a few strokes with a hammer will crack; Fake ones can't stand bending and break easily. ?
Throwing method; High-quality silver jewelry is heavy, and it doesn't jump high when thrown on the table, with a "poop" sound; Fake or poor quality are light.
The above answers are for reference only. If the landlord really doesn't feel comfortable buying it online, he can go to a physical store to buy it, which may be more expensive, but it won't be too much trouble to complain about returning it after sale.
