Encourage your loved one to try on their friends’ or family members’ rings so you can get a better idea of what their ring size might be.Like sterling silver, the 925 stamp is the unit that denotes the quality and also the authenticity of a piece of metal.

If the piece is genuine, there will be no effect, or you will have a creamish-white residue. Any other colors from the reaction indicate impurities and non-sterling silver materials. gold is cheaper than rings made of solid gold, and these pieces also boasts a beautiful and classic gold luster.
