Is Your Silver Chain Real? Here's How to Find Out

by zumorrud co 29 Jul 2025

You bought a silver chain. It looks beautiful, shines in the light, and feels like a perfect fit. But one question still lingers in your mind:

Is it real silver… or just silver-colored metal?

You’re not alone in asking this. Many people unknowingly buy fake silver that looks real at first, but fades, irritates the skin, or loses its shine quickly.

Let’s break it down in a simple way, how you can tell if your silver chain is real sterling silver or not.

Look for the 925 Stamp

One of the easiest and most reliable ways to check if your silver chain is real is to look for a tiny stamp that says "925"—this number is more important than it seems. It tells you that the piece is made of 92.5% pure silver, which is the standard for real sterling silver around the world.

Where can you find it? Usually, it’s located near the clasp, on a small tag or directly on the chain. Sometimes, it might also be stamped on the inside of a pendant if the chain comes with one.

And remember, just seeing the stamp isn’t always enough. Fake jewelry can have fake stamps too, which is why it’s best to use this step with one or two other tests to be sure.

Use a Magnet

Silver is not magnetic, which means it won’t react to a magnet at all. To try this at home, take a small but strong magnet and hold it near your chain.

If the chain sticks or gets pulled toward the magnet, it likely contains other metals like nickel, iron, or steel. These are often used in cheaper or fake jewelry and are magnetic—unlike real 925 sterling silver.

Check for Tarnish—It’s a Good Thing!

Real sterling silver naturally reacts with air and moisture over time. This reaction can cause it to darken slightly or develop small dull spots—this is called tarnish. And believe it or not, it’s actually a sign of purity.

If your silver chain has never changed color or—worse—starts turning green, it might not be real silver. Green tones often come from copper or nickel inside fake silver.

Rub It Gently with a White Cloth

This is a simple home test. Take a soft white cloth and gently rub a small part of your silver chain. If it’s real, you’ll likely see black or grey marks on the cloth. That’s not dirt, it’s silver oxide, a natural byproduct that forms when real silver meets air.

Fake silver or silver-plated jewelry usually leaves no marks at all. So, if your cloth stays clean, the chain might be made from base metals or just coated with silver.

Trust the Brand You Buy From

Even if you do every test right, some fake silver still looks real. That’s why nothing beats buying from a trusted brand. A reliable jeweler will be honest about materials and won't hide anything from you.

At Zumorrud, we take pride in quality. Every silver chain you see is:

  •  Marked with a 925 stamp

  •  Plated with tarnish-resistant white gold

  •  Safe for sensitive skin

  •  Handcrafted to stand the test of time

When you shop with us, you’re not just buying jewelry—you’re investing in something real, lasting, and made with care.

Final Thought

A silver chain is more than just jewelry—it’s something personal. It rests on your skin, holds memories, and sometimes even speaks for moments you can’t put into words. That’s why making sure it’s real matters—not just in how it shines, but in the value it carries.

Because when silver is truly real, it doesn’t just catch the eye…
 It touches the heart.
 And that’s the kind of beauty worth wearing.
