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. Tyto šperky je třeba kupovat opatrně a nikdy je nedávat dětem. Kmenové kusy mohou být docela krásné, so purchase for the value of the piece and design rather than the value of the material.
