Silver doesnt stick to a magnet. It also has a bit of a sweet taste.

I take my jewelry to Treasure Hunt and they have a machine that tells the metal composition of the item. They do not charge for this service and will tell you what it is worth if they purchase.

I have learned the hard way that even items that are marked (usually 925. sterling, 95, etc.) sometimes are not real and some unmarked items are real.

There are also kits you can buy on Amazon or other sites to do at home acid tests. I don't like that method because it can damage the piece if you don't do it right.

real silver gets tarnished, or black. If it has this it may well be silver
