Are you sure it's 925 Real silver?

4 tips to know if you are actually investing into real silver

Firstly you need to know what is 925 silver?
Pure silver is soft and malleable
So, Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, and the rest of the metal percentage is mostly copper. The mixing of copper makes the silver durable and easy to mould it into any design imaginable

1. Tip 1 : Stamp Check
99 % of The Products at Amyra Box are 925 Stamped

Firstly, look for an imprint of 925, .925 or 92.5 on the clasp or behind the jewelry piece. Any jewelry without any marking may indicate otherwise.

2. Tip 2 :  Give it a rub

Secondly, take a white cloth and rub it against the piece of jewellery. If you see black marks, then you have the real deal. Unless done another finish depending on the type of jewellery.

3. Tip 3 : Magnet Check
It's time to keep some magnets handy

Thirdly , Magnets do not affect real sterling silver. If you see that the magnet is greatly attracted to the piece of sterling silver jewelry you intend to buy, it is safe to walk away.

4. Tip 4 : Smell Check
Does it smell funny ? Is it cracked and the surface is not smooth enough?

Feel, smell and hear your sterling silver jewellery. If it smells funny and makes a hollow sound while it feels rough, then it is not authentic sterling silver.
