To identify fake 925 sterling silver, look for a hallmark stamp such as "925," which indicates 92.5% silver content. Additionally, real sterling silver is non-magnetic, so using a magnet can help; if the piece is attracted, it might not be genuine. Lastly, genuine sterling silver tarnishes over time, so an item that doesn't tarnish could be a sign it's not real.
