http://www.ebay.com/itm/Charoite-Turquoise-925-Sterling-Silver-Necklace-Jewelry-/260888312538?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cbe27bada#ht_3582wt_1272

fraud jewelry

Here is the TRUTH:

1. They are big liers telling people that its CHAROITE. It is not. It is an artificial man-made stone created by powder and mixed with colour. It is called ‘BATTI’. Just a peice of junk. In the middle they have another Batti in Turquoise colour.

2. The metal they are using is called German Silver

What Is German Silver ?

The name German silver or nickel silver is misleading since it has no silver con­tent, but is an alloy of 60 per cent copper, 20 per cent nickel and 20 per cent zinc. It resembles silver but instead of the soft white colour it has a yellow-grey tinge.

German silver is used exten­sively in the hollow-ware and flatware industries as E.P.N.S. (electro-plated nickel silver), which is a nickel silver item with a plating of silver. Nickel silver is slightly more difficult to work for jewelry purpose, than copper and other metals, since it is a harder alloy. Again it is prone to tarnish on exposure to air and will turn the skin green with prolonged contact.

So whats the deal then!!!!

Ok let me explain you whats the deal here… lets talk about costing….

German Silver (Metal) weight is approx : 20 grams
