Buying sterling silver jewelry from online jewelry stores has for quite some time a challenging task. Many write ups, blogs and articles were published to give wide publicity to the genuine sterling silver jewelry pendants sold online. These were trashed as marketing tricks by most of the buyers and hence the online jewelry stores did not have much of revenues. The people used to approach the local jewelry stores to buy gold plated pendant necklace or the sterling silver jewelry. But the online stores had more options than the local jeweler which was left untapped for the fear of buying fake products.

Over a period of time, three simple steps were evolved to help the buyers identify the right kind of jewelry when buying the sterling silver bracelets and sterling silver ear rings or any kind of jewelry from online stores. These steps are not the thumb rule, but serve the purpose of giving a proper idea of how to choose the right kind of products.

The sterling silver is not pure silver, it has some impurities and is considered 925 silver value which has 80% of pure silver and rest is impurities of other metals. ...
... The impurities add sturdiness to the base metal and also look more beautiful. While buying the 925 silver value products online, check for the following things:

1.When the product is delivered to your door step by the online jewelry stores, before making the payment, take a magnifying glass and check the product. The marks are to be identified clearly. Only a proper and clear magnifying glass can show the marks on the products.

2.The marks should indicate the 800 meaning it is sterling silver with 0.925 or 80% of pure silver and balance 20% is impurities of other metals. Unless these two steps are confirmed, the products should not be blindly accepted as sterling silver jewelry. Otherwise, one may end up buying silver plated products in the name of Sterling Silver Bracelets, Sterling Silver Earrings, sterling silver jewelry pendants which is not at all desirable

3.While buying food products, one may check for AGMARK and similarly the mark of ALPACA determines the purity levels of the sterling silver. There may be a mix of zinc, copper and nickel which should be avoided. The mark which is internationally accepted should be looked into.

A proper verification of the above aspects will ensured that you will surely end up buying 925 silver value or the Sterling silver jewelry from the online jewelry stores.
