If you want to know if this is silver, it is best to test it. This jewellery is popular right now, so they are making a lot of it. They make a lot of it anyway, because the Miao love bling: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2F736x%2Fef%2F1a%2F6d%2Fef1a6dc9a26379a423c7b6a0ee215f5e--traditional-fashion-miao.jpg&sp=0d5c99fe60f5ea9666113f75f5881f1a[/IMG] [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.travelchinaguide.com%2Fimages%2Fphotogallery%2F0013500%2F10013483tm.jpg&sp=329c334f61d184fb4f01e034828a6279[/IMG] [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.globaltimes.cn%2FPortals%2F0%2Fattachment%2F2016%2F2016-10-12%2F27665494-9e48-4d88-b5c5-920475c6df9c.jpeg&sp=8456d0f5f179a5db66957a56d8710072[/IMG][/QUOTE]
