Sterling Silver catches the light like no other, which is why we love the look of sterling silver, be it in jewellery or even home furniture. Real Silver also has a high value in the market, so items made from the material tend to come with a higher price tag than those that merely look like Silver. Cariati prides itself in the quality and design of our silver products, from Pendants to Chains, Earrings to gift sets for special occasions, you can buy from us in confidence.
Hallmarks
Look for markings or stamps on the Silver Jewellery that you have purchased, in most countries, its stamped with one or more silver hallmarks indicating the purity of the silver. International sellers of silver will stamp silver as 925, 900 or 800.” These numbers indicate the level of purity of the silver. Sterling silver has a purity of 92.5 percent or higher, of which all our Sterling Silver products have.
The Magnet Test
Most precious metals-like gold are nonmagnetic, and silver is no exception. Use a magnet to see if they are drawn to your object. “Silver is not noticeably magnetic, and exhibits only weak magnetic effects unlike iron, nickel, cobalt, and the like. Fake Silver or Silver-plated items are generally made of other metals.
