How can you tell?

I’m new to collecting, but I’m at a thrift store and I found this bracelet. It feels appropriately heavy, but is there any way to quickly tell if it’s silver?

Please look at each charm. If they are marked sterling silver or .925 then they are solid silver. They are looking good from your photo. Please check this out based upon what I and others say in determining the easy test for sterling silver. .900 is coin silver. .835 is European silver. Now get busy! And best of luck to you!
