    Donna, as a vendor who probably deals with more silver than you and
    I would ever see in a lifetime, yours probably just doesn't have the
    time or manpower to check silver strands to make sure he's getting
    silver. Like the rest of us, he is given a statement (either verbal
    or written) saying that what he's buying is sterling silver. If he
    gets too many complaints, then he'll go to the source and find out
    what the culprit is. Generally, when a supplier says it's silver, it
    is. 

    Now as far as the round beads that are being affected by your
    magnet, did you have these for a long time? Could you have purchased
    silver plate at the time not knowing there was a difference between
    SS & SP? In the past two years, I've learned many such lessons and
    now have a good bit of SP that I just don't use because at the time I
    bought it, I didn't know any better. 

    Good luck on your hunt!
