The best way to test silver is with a neodymium magnet. It won't stick to the silver as if it is steel. Instead, the magnet will slide slowly down the piece of silver.
This is a nondestructive test, much better than using chemicals.
There are a lot of Youtube videos that will instruct you, and the magnets, also known as rare earth magnets, can be found on the internet, too.
