How to choose
Choose a man's ring is depending on the suit and style of clothing with which to wear it. Universal is the decoration of silver without inserts of stones, with no eye-catching modest design. Products with gems must be chosen in accordance with their constellations and character traits.
When choosing silver jewelry you need to remember how to distinguish a fake. The most well-known method of verification is through iodine. If a drop of this medicine, which has fallen on the product, changes its color to blue, then this metal is definitely a surrogate. Decoration can be rubbed with a piece of ordinary limestone chalk, and if it turns black, then silver is real. Another way is to hold a sewing needle over the surface: a solid piece of silver will not leave scratches, but a metal with a thin silver coating will immediately be found. The ring can be dipped literally for a second in hot water, and if it heats up to the same temperature as water during this time, then it is genuine silver - it has good thermal conductivity.
But in addition to one hundred percent replacement of silver for a substitute, low-quality alloys of this metal often produce high samples. For example, varieties below the 875th sample with a high zinc content leave distinct black marks on the skin.
