How can I tell if it is Stainless Steel, or sterling Silver?
-
I bought a piece of jewelry that is meant to put on a necklace, several years ago. Trouble is, I can't remember what it was made of. I am almost positive that it is either Sterling Silver, or Stainless Steel. As that's what I remember it being referred to as. It's not important enough to have me hire someone to evaluate it, so what would be the key aspects of identifying it from the two? Thanks

Answer:
Does it have a hallmark? If it has a tiny '925' stamped on it it is silver

I would take it to a jewelry store. If it has no identification markings, you can take it to a jeweler and they can tell you whether it is silver or steel. If you want to do it yourself, you need to find the object's density. If it is 10.49 grams, it's silver, and i believe if it's 8,000 g, it's stainless steel.(Not sure on the density for the stainless steel, i might be wrong.)
