Is this jewellers legit?

Hi, ok I have been looking at some chains for men, however have noticed there isn't many jewellers in the uk selling these.


So I came across a site called silvertime.co.uk
These sell a wide range of men's jewellery.

They claim the jewellery to be sterling silver, hallmarked at 92.5% with 7.5% being copper.
They claim it is independently tested by a uk assay office in biwrmingham.


Ok so my question is, can I trust them? Will this be real silver or could it be a fake? Is there any way of finding out?

    Buy it and get it tested?

    Or buy direct from the jewellery quarter in Birmingham.

    You could try a google street view map and see if they're shop does actually exist. You could try a whoisit search online to see how old they are and if they have any links elsewhere and you could also ask your bank if they've had any reports of issues with the company to check they are not known scamming people. Ideally you'd want to visit them in person to get a better feel, otherwise try a random google search to see if others have been talking about them elsewhere?
