When choosing silver jewelry, you need to remember how to distinguish a fake. The most well-known way to check is with iodine. If a drop of this medication that has fallen on the product changes its color to blue, then this metal is definitely a surrogate. The decoration can be rubbed with a piece of ordinary limestone chalk, and if it turns black, then the silver is real. Another way is to run a sewing needle over the surface: a solid piece of silver will not leave scratches, but metal with a thin silver coating will immediately show up. The ring can be dipped literally for a second in hot water, and if during this time it heats up to the same temperature as water, then this is genuine silver - it has good thermal conductivity.

But in addition to a 100% replacement of silver with a surrogate, low-quality alloys of this metal are often given out as high samples. For example, varieties below 875 with a high zinc content leave distinct black marks on the skin.
