Jewelry Making - chinese stirling silver


Expert: orlando cajamarca - 5/30/2009

Question
is this silver as good as the english silver or does this one turn you green

Answer
This is a good question, Chinese silver is as good as silver from any Country but the process is different. Chinese manufacturers have been killing the Sterling silver market by producing tons of jewelrY that contains very little or no silver at all and plating it very heavy to cover their scam. If the silver jewelry you got from that country turns green or black on you it is not silver period.
THE SILVER IS SILVER AND SHOULD TEST AS SUCH IN UK, USA, CHINA, MEXICO, SOUTH AMERICA, ASIA, AFRICA, ETC.
