    about 6 years ago the studio I worked for were buying Bali chain
    direct from there, and found out that the content of silver was at
    about 400 to 600 parts silver, customers kept complaining that the
    material was going pink and brown in a very short time ,we were even
    getting it pink out of the pickle or the ultrasonic some times,
    that's why we checked in the first place. And had to make
    adjustments to have them alloy the 925 exact for us. if you pay
    attention to the fact that 90% of that material is not stamped the
    quality stamp / tagged when importing.
