A silver tea set is probably the most feasible option if you want to have something which is precious but not as much as gold. It looks good and comes in many varieties which make it affordable for people with a variable budget and purchasing power. You can spend anywhere from around 0 to 00 on a silver tea set. The prices depend on the purity of the metal as well as the number of pieces. The cheaper varieties are mostly silver plated and look more or less like the pure ones, therefore purchasing a pure silver set is tricky and you need to be very careful to avoid your money being wasted. Here are a few pointers to tell the difference between silver plated and sterling silver sets.
· The price difference between the two is pretty obvious and can be a good indicator however you can not solely rely on the retailer.

· Since silver plated ones are originally made of some hard metal and coated with a layer of silver, a thorough examination may reveal tiny layer of metal showing through the silver coating. Sterling silver sets look very fine and have a distinct shine about them. You need to have a good eye to see any kind of flaw in the plated sets.
· It is important to see the markings at the bottom of the silver object. Most silver crockery has some kind of numbers, letters or symbols engraved at the bottom. If you know which of these represent sterling silver and which mean silver plating it will benefit you tremendously in making your purchase. Some crockery has numbers like 925, 950 or 835 written at the bottom which show the percentage of silver used in the crockery. Whereas "EPC" and "EPNS" mean the crockery is silver plated.
· It may also help to ask the retailer directly whether the silver is pure or not. A bit of online search will give you an idea about what to look for to check the authenticity of pure silver crockery.
When purchasing pure silver crockery it is important to be sure that the metal is pure because it is not cheap to be purchased over and over again. You do not need to be an expert in metallurgy to judge the quality of silver crockery. A bit of knowledge and experience is all you need to tell real sterling silver from plated one.
