Sterling silver is kind of hard to distinguish, because it has to come with certification from the manufacturer itself. If you don't have the certifications with it, then you are going to know. With silver, it is going to naturally oxidize. It is hard to tell if a piece is real or fake, because they are both going to tarnish. Regardless, one will tarnish a lot slower than the other. It's hard to tell unless you have that paperwork from the manufacturer.
