How do you tell if something is silver or silver plated?

A quick method to determine if an item is silver or silver-plated is to look for the hallmark. In the US, this is usually "sterling" ".925″ "925/1000″ (or .999 for bullion). If the hallmark can't be found, but you suspect it may be silver, a Silver Acid Test would be a way to confirm silver content. After placing a drop of the Acid Test solution on your item, a color will appear that you can match to a color chart (often included in an acid test kit) to indicate the silver content in your piece. See the related links.
