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.

Is your silver chain real if its stamped xp?

The "xp" stamp on a silver chain typically indicates that it is made of a silver alloy, but it does not guarantee that it is genuine sterling silver. Sterling silver is commonly marked with "925," which signifies it contains 92.5% silver. To determine if your chain is real, you can perform a magnet test or consult a jeweler for further analysis.
