I have a bracelet that I bought a while ago, and I'm not sure if it's made of real silver. It has a nice shine to it, but I want to confirm its authenticity. Is there a way to verify if my bracelet is indeed real silver?

Authentic silver, when tarnished, will typically leave behind a black residue on the cloth during the polishing process.

Polishing a tarnished silver item serves as an effective method to ascertain its authenticity.

The absence of such residue could mean that the item is composed of a material other than silver.

When you rub the silver piece vigorously, as if you are polishing it, pay close attention to the cloth you are using.

Another indicator of the item's material is the presence or absence of rust or oxidation. Silver, when exposed to air, tarnishes over time.
