One of the most affordable and graceful jewelry metals is silver. Unfortunately, this precious metal is getting imitated especially when you prefer to buy them form online stores. It is quite easy to distinguish the authentic silver bracelets from the imitation ones when you are buying them from the online store. In this article, I am going to guide the buyers in identifying the authentic silver bracelet by the use of some tips and techniques.

Below are the tips which will help you in buying good quality silver and other jewelry items.

Silver is the most widely used metal to make the jewelry, all over the world. The great shine and low price of silver jewelry are the main reasons of its popularity. When looking for silver, always prefer reputable jewelry stores. It is not preferable to purchase jewelry items from some stalls on streets. No doubt, these items are cheaper in price, but it is not advisable to buy from such places unless you are well aware and an expert in spotting the genuine ones. Big stores and brands are famous for their quality and these stores and brands never take a risk of providing poor quality or fake items to their customers. If you are not an expert in spotting the real silver then you must bought them from reputable stores. You might have to pay a little bit more for the brand name but it does not really matter if you are buying a real and quality item.

Before buying, you must look for the markings. Either jewelry is handcrafted or machine-made. Authentic silver bracelets always have the markings and a grade of silver. You can look for the marking when you are going to buy a silver jewelry from a roadside stall. The ideal grade mark of bracelet is 92.5. If the grade is lower than this then it shows that your jewelry will not last longer and can easily get tarnish. On the other hand, if the grade mark is higher than it will be more precious and softer but at the same time, not appropriate for daily use and would also be expensive.

You must also look at the quality of gemstones engraved on your bracelet while buying. After the weight and design of bracelet, gemstones are used to affect the value of the bracelet. While purchasing, you must also consider the genuineness of these stones whether they are authentic gems or just some colored glass and metal.
