    lol no. All fake brands carry that tag .... it's dollar store after all .... who'd sell sterlin silver in it if it's authentic .......

    I didn't know dollar stores carried jewellery .. how do they afford to get these stuff for so cheap?

    Sterling silver is and will never be real silver. The base metal is copper or brass and it is electroplated usually with nickle or some other shiny element it could actually be plated with silver but then it would say silver plated. sterling silver is nickle plated . It is the same thing.

    Do you seriously believe you bought something that's real silver at a *DOLLAR STORE*? Use your brain.

    Pssssst Tangela....... wanna buy a sterling silver earring for $1?

    No. Absolutely not.

    Dollar stores can't afford real silver rings.

    Just because it has a tag...doesn't make the tag truthful.

    NO... nothing in a dollar store is real its a copy and dont get it wet because then it will start to fade.

    Try biting the earring. If the metal is soft, then it may be real. But otherwise, i doubt it.
