120Pcs Earring Hooks 925 Sliver Plated Gold Earring Hooks Ear Wire Hypoallergenic with 120Pcs Earring Backs Earring Making Supplies for DIY Earring Jewellery Making（Gold）

I’m giving this five stars as I have no reason to provide a lower rating. While many reviews claim these aren't real silver, I suspect there may be differences from batch to batch. At current scrap prices (approx. £1.14/gram), buying 25g of silver hooks for £5 does seem remarkably cheap, which understandably raises questions. I performed a few home tests to verify: Magnet Test: Silver is non-magnetic. While brass (commonly used in jewellery) is also non-magnetic, these hooks passed the initial check. Smell Test: Base metals like brass usually have a distinct metallic odour; these hooks are odourless. Bleach Test: Real silver oxidises and turns black very quickly when exposed to bleach. I soaked two hooks, and they turned black within a minute. Cleaning: I was able to polish them back to their original shine using just a bit of toothpaste (see my before and after photos). Regarding comments about the hooks losing their shine over time: this is actually a sign of authentic silver. Oxidation is a natural process; if silver isn't worn, it turns black, but it can always be polished back, I use toothpaste at home. So far, these hooks have ticked all the boxes. The only other thing to watch for is "yellowing" wear marks over time, which would indicate a plated base metal (you can also scratch one with a knife to see if a different colour shows underneath). The only way to tell whether this is 925 silver or not is to take them to jewellers, however the tests are costly.
