Introduction — Why is it important to distinguish between genuine and imitation silver?

With the spread of imitation jewelry, it has become essential for every silver lover to know the correct ways to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit pieces.

At Silvera , we care about providing you with genuine 925 sterling silver of high quality, and that is why we have prepared this simple guide for you so that you can shop with confidence and ensure that the piece that reaches you is genuine and will last you.

1. 925 stamp: The strongest mark of genuine silver

What does the 925 stamp mean on silver?

The 925 stamp means that the piece is made of 92.5% genuine silver and 7.5% metals that strengthen the piece and maintain its durability.

How can you tell if silver is genuine by the hallmark?

• Having a clear stamp such as: 925 - .925 - S925
• The script is precisely engraved and undistorted.
• Counterfeit items often have no seal or a faded seal.

Each piece comes with a 925 seal and a quality check before shipping.

2) Magnet test: The fastest way to identify the original part

Silver is not attracted to magnets , therefore:

• If you're attracted → often genuine
• If you are attracted to it → it is often an imitation or cheap plated metal

3) Luster and color: Genuine silver has a clear imprint

What is the shine of genuine silver?

• A soft, understated shine
• Elegant light gray color
• It oxidizes with a slight sheen over time (this is normal).

As for tradition:

• Very strong or fake shine
• The color tends towards nickel or yellow
• It peels off quickly

4) Weight: Silver is heavier than traditional accessories

Genuine silver has a calculated and fixed weight.

If the piece is unnaturally light, it is often:

❌ Imitation

❌ Painted only

❌ Lightweight metal of poor quality

While genuine silver gives you a sense of luxury from the first touch.

5) Skin sensitivity: an important indicator for silver granules

Genuine silver:

✔️ Safe for the skin

✔️ Does not cause allergies

✔️ No change in skin color

tradition:

❌ Causes darkening or redness

❌ Reacts with sweat and perfumes

❌ It breaks down quickly

6) The sound of silver: a subtle sign known to experts

Did you know that silver has a different sound?

When you touch two genuine silver pieces, the sound will be:

• smooth
• fixed
• undisturbed

Imitation, on the other hand, often has a sharp and light voice.

7) How to buy: The most important step to ensure you get the genuine part
