How to identify the authenticity of silver?
Identification method of silver and real silver: 1. Look, the higher the purity of this color, the whiter the color, and the jewelry surface looks even and shiny, which has a touch-up effect. If it contains lead, the jewelry will appear bluish gray; If it contains copper, the surface of jewelry will appear rough and the color will not feel moist. And if it is real silver, the color of silver will not change after burning. If it is fake silver or silver with too low purity, the color will turn black after burning. 2. The density of silver is slightly higher than that of ordinary metal. Generally speaking, "aluminum is light, silver is heavy, and copper is not light or heavy." So weighing can preliminarily judge whether it is silver. If the jewelry is large and light, it can be preliminarily judged that the jewelry belongs to other metals. 3. Check the hardness. The hardness of silver is lower than that of copper but higher than that of lead and tin. You can check it by marking the jewelry in an inconspicuous place with a pin. If the needle slips, it is difficult to leave traces on the surface, which can be judged as copper jewelry; If it is made of lead or tin, the mark is obviously prominent; If there are traces in the object but it is not obvious, it can be preliminarily judged as silver jewelry. 4. Listen to the sound. You can also judge the authenticity of silver by sound. Standard silver jewelry sounds dull after landing. Silver is generally soft. If it falls on something hard, it will make some faint sounds. If it is any other metal, it will make a loud noise. 5. Look at this sign. Generally, silver ornaments should be stamped with the English abbreviation of silver ("S" or "Ag"). The standard silver stamp is S925. The stamp with enough silver is S990.
