How to test for Pure Silver Indian Jewellery?
If you are someone who is going to invest in silver jewellery online it is important for you to know ways to test for its purity. We shall list down physical and chemical ways to do the same.
Physical Ways of Testing Silver
The foremost test for silver jewellery is checking the label first. If the item has an inscription of “ster” or “sterling” that means the silver content in the item is at 92.5 or very close to being pure silver.
Items that say “IS” mean that that the item is “international silver” or silver-plated.
Real silver is non-magnetic so use a neodymium magnet. Tilt object 45 degrees, place magnet on the tilted surface. If it slides down, it is real. If it sticks, it’s fake.
Get two ice cubes. Place one on top of the silver item and the ice cube on a regular pan. If the ice on the item melts faster than that of the pan, then the item is real silver as silver is a heat conductor.
Chemical Tests to Check for Silver Jewellery Purity
Before we list down ways to chemically test the silver jewellery purity we would like to let you know that these tests can completely or partially degrade the value of the jewellery.
The Nitric Acid Test is used to check if silver is pure or plated. To do so, file a small part of the item in a discreet area where it cannot be seen. Apply a few drops of nitric acid. If the area turns into creamy white, the silver is pure or sterling. If green, it is probably fake or silver-plated.
You just bleach to a silver product. If it tarnishes quickly, then it is real silver. Otherwise, it is fake. Bleach however may damage your item and devalue it greatly.
