How to identify pure silver?
* Pure silver does not stick to a magnet.
* If a piece of ice is placed on it, it starts melting immediately.
* It has no smell. When any other metal is mixed or plated, a copper or metallic smell is noticeable.
* If you rub a silver object with a clean white cloth, black/gray stains will appear.
* It sinks quickly in water. Fake silver sinks slowly to the bottom of the water.
* When struck with another metal, it produces a clear bell sound.
