How do I know if my jewelry is real silver?

How do I know if my jewelry is real silver?
To know if your jewelry is real silver, look for hallmarks. Real silver pieces typically feature markings such as “925,” “999,” “STER” or “STERLING.” The magnet test may also be helpful. Because silver isn't magnetic, jewelry that attracts a magnet is unlikely to be solid silver, though it may feature silver plating. A certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can perform additional tests to help you identify what your jewelry is made of. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of silver jewelry.
