Like nickel silver, Tibetan and/or tribal silver are base metal alloys that are only silver in appearance. Contents of the alloys vary tremendously and may not even contain any silver. Some imports from exotic areas contain dangerous metals such as lead; buyer beware. Hierdie juweliersware moet met omsigtigheid gekoop word en moet nooit aan kinders gegee word nie. Stamstukke kan nogal pragtig wees, so purchase for the value of the piece and design rather than the value of the material.
