Silver has always been a symbol of timeless beauty, cultural legacy, and personal expression. At Khushron Jewels, we believe that owning silver jewellery is more than a fashion choice — it’s an investment in elegance and heritage. But with the market flooded with imitations and low-quality alloys, how can you be sure you're purchasing authentic silver jewellery?
Here’s a quick and reliable guide to help you shop smart and shine bright.
1. Look for the Hallmark (925 Stamp)
The most common indicator of real silver is the “925” hallmark — meaning the jewellery is made of 92.5% pure silver mixed with 7.5% alloy (usually copper) for durability.
Tip: Check for “925”, “Sterling”, or “S925” engraved in a discreet part of the jewellery.
2. Do the Magnet Test
Real silver is not magnetic. If your jewellery is strongly attracted to a magnet, it’s likely made of nickel, steel, or other non-silver metals.
Caution: Some fakes pass this test too, so don’t rely on this alone.
3. Conduct a Simple Acid Test (With Care)
Jewellers often use a silver testing kit that includes nitric acid to check authenticity. When applied carefully, real silver turns a creamy color, while fake silver may turn green or black.
Note: This should only be done by professionals to avoid damage.
4. Check for Tarnish — Not Rust
Authentic silver may tarnish over time due to exposure to air (a natural oxidization process), but it never rusts. Tarnish can be cleaned, while rust indicates poor quality metal.
5. Buy from Trusted Brands
The best way to guarantee purity is to buy from trusted, transparent brands. At Khushron Jewels, each piece is hallmarked, quality-checked, and crafted with certified 925 silver. Our team ensures you're not just buying jewellery — you're investing in authenticity.
6. Ask for Authenticity Certificate or Invoice
When in doubt, always ask for a certificate of authenticity or detailed invoice stating silver purity. Reliable sellers won’t hesitate to provide these documents.
Bonus: Trust Your Senses
Real silver feels cool to the touch, has a soft luster (not overly shiny), and gives a pleasant “ring” when tapped. If it looks too shiny or feels too light — it might not be the real deal.
In Conclusion
Authentic silver jewellery is a treasure — not just for its beauty, but for its lasting value. Understanding these simple checks can save you from disappointment and ensure you get what you pay for.
At Khushron Jewels, we stand for purity, elegance, and trust. Every piece we craft tells a story — and it begins with real silver.
