1. How To Tell If The Jewelry Piece Is Made If 925 Sterling Silver?
The stamp 925 is an indication to identify genuine sterling silver jewelry which contains 925% silver that is the easiest way to tell if sterling silver is real. You may see 925 or S925 symbol stamps on rings of the inside band or clasp of bracelets and necklaces and also show on a separate charm of the jewelry.
2. Any Other Ways To Know If I Am Buying Fake Silver Or Just Silver Plated?
a) Rub With A Soft Cloth
A lot of silver-colored jewelry pieces may look almost similar to the naked eye despite being made from different materials or simply being silver-coated, so the easiest test for 925 sterling silver jewelry way is using a soft cloth to rub your piece. Try rubbing a light-colored, soft cloth over the piece a few times. As 925 silver contains copper or other alloys, it will cause dark marks to appear on the cloth as the silver oxidizes. If there are black marks on the cloth, this is a genuine sterling silver piece because real silver oxidizes on exposure to the air and hence the tarnish left on the cloth.
b) Magnet Test
The magnet test is another simple way to check whether sterling silver jewelry is real or not. You can hold a magnet above or near your jewelry piece. Because pure silver is not magnetic, the 925 silver jewelry won't be drawn to the magnet. Please Carefully double check your jewelry piece is genuine by testing it with a magnet. Neither silver, gold nor platinum is magnetic, so if your jewelry sticks to the magnet, it is likely, not genuine. We accept testing on random items in orders by customers. It will make our customers more confident about our jewelry quality.

5. Concerning 925 Sterling Silver Plated
925 sterling silver is a common silver-white metal, composed of 92.5% precious metal "silver" and 7.5% other metals. Due to its low hardness and susceptibility to oxidation and blackening, a metal cover needs to be plated on its surface.
Our rhodium plating has a thickness of 0.03 microns, which is considered good enough for jewelry pieces that will be exposed to rough wear. If the rhodium plating is too thick, it can crack due to the brittleness of the rhodium.
For gold plating, we plate it with a thickness of 0.03 microns and then coat it on top. The color will remain for 1-2 years depending on how the customer uses it. We can increase the thickness of the gold plating as per the customer's request.
Although 925 silver jewelry will be plated in color, customers still need to clean and maintain it with a silver cloth to keep its luster.
