Best Answer

Your silver chain contains nickel if it attracts to a magnet. That means the silver alloy is not sterling .925. It may be a lower grade silver alloy containing less pure silver. Or, it may be a silver colored base metal alloy that contains no real silver at all. Look for a quality stamp or hallmark for further verification of quality.
