Hello All - me again

My mad mate who likes to dabble in all things crafty from time to time, is now dabbling in jewellery, and recently bought what she was told was Tibetan silver. When it arrived she thought it felt a bit plastic. So, she tried to bend it and it snapped clean in half. Now logic tells her that metal should bend not snap. And the inside is a grey putty type colour. Does anyone know anything about Tibetan silver and if this is normal, or has she been sold a dud?

Many thanks

Oh PS, she's mad in general, not because she does crafty things lol

It sounds like she was done over - we buy silver from nepal and it is fine - never stamped with the 925 stamp but then it may be mixed metal so less than 925 quality....anything that snaps as easily will have a high iron content - like cheap kids rings - anyhow the link below explains it better...

I'll let her know and send her the link.

Hope every one is doing well at Cultra today. Was hoping to pop along but I've been under the weather all week. I will pop along and support you some time, somewhere!!

cultra was rubbish, the place was bunged, really busy but we were upstairs and there was nothing to tell people that we were there, i had to put signs up myself. very few people coming up to us. there was a lift but no sign to tell people there was one or where it was. so all in all very poor very disapointed
