    Be very careful when purchasing Bali silver. It is best to purchase
    from a seller you can trust. There are so many "knock off" copies of
    Bali that are just cast and then blackened to appear like Bali. Good
    Bali silver is not cast. You cannot see any seam lines around the
    circumference as it is handmade. At the IGM shows you can usually
    find it at good wholesale prices, anywhere from 35 to 50 cents per
    gram. Ask specifically if it comes from India. If the answer is yes,
    then it is definitely not Balinese. 

Hope this helps...
Betty
