How to Identify Genuine 925 Silver Jewelry

 

With so many jewelry options available, how can you be sure you’re buying real 925 silver? Here’s how to spot authentic sterling silver jewelry:

1. Look for the 925 Stamp

Genuine sterling silver is marked with “925,” “Sterling,” or “S925”, indicating it contains 92.5% pure silver.

2. Check for Tarnishing

Unlike fake silver, 925 silver naturally oxidizes over time. This can be easily cleaned with a polishing cloth.

3. Conduct the Magnet Test

Real silver isn’t magnetic—if your jewelry sticks to a magnet, it’s not genuine silver!

4. Do the Rub Test

Rub your jewelry with a soft cloth—if black marks appear, it’s a sign of real silver oxidizing.

5. Buy from Trusted Jewelers

Always purchase from reputable stores like The Marina Emporium, where authenticity is guaranteed!
