April 6, 2007, Newsletter Issue #82: Determining Whether Silver is Sterling
Tip of the Week
Only jewelry that is at least 92.5% pure silver can be labeled "silver," "solid silver," "sterling silver," or "sterling." If sterling silver pendants and sterling silver clasps are stamped with these words, your purchase meets U.S. government standards. Sometimes, sterling silver jewelry will be stamped with "925," or "92.5." These are also appropriate markings and they assure you that you are buying genuine sterling silver jewelry. If you are buying beads or sterling silver charms, you should ensure that you are buying from a reputable online vendor. You don't want to pay for sterling silver beads that aren't actually sterling silver.
