How to identify a silver bracelet and the trick to distinguish its authenticity.

1, identify its color and authenticity with eyesight. The high color looks white, delicate and shiny, and the jewelry is printed with symbols such as manufacturer and store number; Low color, yellow color and rough workmanship; Fake silver ornaments are dull.

2. According to the weight of silver ornaments, the density of silver is slightly higher than that of ordinary metals. Generally speaking, aluminum is light, silver is heavy and copper is not heavy. Therefore, it can be preliminarily judged whether it is silver by weighing. If the jewelry is large and light, it can be preliminarily judged that the jewelry belongs to other metals.

3, listen to the sound, rhyme, sterling silver jewelry hit the floor, no elasticity, rough sound. The lower the color, the lower the sound, and the sharper and higher the rhyming sound; If it is made of copper, its sound is high and sharp, and its rhyme is short and short; If it is made of lead and tin, the sound of falling to the ground is dull, short and inelastic.

4. Grind the silver jewelry on the touchstone (the same as gold inspection) and alter it with silver medicine (silver powder and mercury are softened). The color of silver medicine will be high and the color of silver medicine will be low. Those without silver medicine are fakes.

5. The higher the fineness of silver jewelry, the softer the texture and the whiter and smoother the surface. Take a silver bracelet of about 60 grams as an example. If you pull it by hand, it will open and have no elasticity, and the color is about 95%. If it is a little elastic, the color is about 80%-90%; If the elasticity is large, the fineness is below 70%.
