If you cannot find a mark 925 or a stamp on the piece and you are looking for sterling silver, it does not means it is not silver, many countries do not require that precious metal items are stamped. However there is a way to test it if you really want it and think it is worth the time and trouble to do it. Silver can be tested with nitric acid, be careful as it involves using an acid which can burn the skin. To apply you make a tiny scratch on the item in an inconspicuous place and apply a drop of nitric acid to the spot. If the spot turns a creamy colour it is high quality silver, usually sterling. If it turns black it is coin quality silver and if it turns green it has high amounts of copper and therefore is poor quality silver and a gold color means a lot of brass it means this is a silver plated item.

Magnets are only attracted to ferrous (iron) materials, Silver is not magnetic. You can use a neodymium magnet (Rare Earth Magnet) for preliminary gold and Silver testing

To test for silver, you will need the following materials and tools:

- Black acid testing Stone that is washed thoroughly with water prior to each test.
- Silver Test Acid
