Silver is a precious metal whose value increases over time. In its purest form the metal is too malleable to make lasting items of everyday use. This is why most silver items are made from sterling silver which is 92.5% pure. The remaining is an alloy of another metal generally copper. Because its value increases over time many people purchase sterling silver items as an investment.

Many sterling silver items are tagged with “925", ".925" or "S925” to represent that metal is used is genuine sterling silver. Many jewellery makers who make sterling jewellery can use the 925 tags to hallmark their jewellery and to assure buyers that authentic metal has been used. The site does not police where the tags are being used and they can be purchased by anyone. Silverbeadsandfindings.com delivers its components worldwide.

The number of fake silver items available online has increased in the past five years. Many people have started to misuse the 925 stamp. The easiest way to determine if the sterling silver item is pure is to use a magnet. Real sterling silver is a non-ferrous metal and is not attracted to a magnet. If the item in question is attracted to the magnet then it is a fake.
