The real Tibetan silver, due to the production process, wipe it with your hand, it will turn black. This is a kind of carbon black, non -metal black. In addition, Tibetan silver's imitation products are generally made of waste, tin and other alloys. The surface is plated, and the color looks pale. There is no metal luster and metal texture. High, but very texture, has the effect of silver products.
In after reading the color, you also need to examine the appearance and workmanship of the jewelry. The pure Tibetan silver jewelry pattern is clear. You can see that there are no patterns on the back of the jewelry. Most of the imitation products have obvious machine suppression marks, which look one by one; and the real Tibetan jewelry surface is smooth and manually polished.

Most of the counterfeit silver jewelry is replaced by plastic due to cost reasons. Plastic inlaids look very exquisite and bright in color, while the real Tibetan jewelry inlaid green and red corals look more quaint and rough, which is one of the characteristics of Tibetan jewelry.
