This is not a process you can do yourself at home. Silver items need to be sent to a professional refinery that has the industrial equipment and chemicals required to separate metal alloys. If you have a significant amount of silver to refine (several kilos or more) it may be worth findings a refinery and sending material in directly. Otherwise, small amounts are best handled through reputable jewelry stores or jewelry supply outfits.
