I looked at many different pieces of jewelry in that shop. They sold jade, agate, pearls, chalcedony, crystal, and precious metal jewelry year-round; the selection was extensive. Comparing prices, the precious metal jewelry was reasonably priced, but other types of jewelry were on the more expensive side.

The shop had many silver jewelry pieces made of 925 sterling silver, which you could try on, but not pure silver jewelry. Some of the pure silver jewelry had sealed packaging. The combs, bracelets, water cups, and tableware in the shop were made of pure silver. Most of the other silver jewelry was made of 925 sterling silver.

During the Year of the Dragon in the mortal world, I originally wanted to buy a white gold pendant inlaid with black pearls, but we couldn't agree on the price. So, I bought a platinum diamond ring on sale. Due to the discount, it was a relatively reasonably priced piece of precious metal jewelry.

Back then, when I was looking at Haizhu jewelry, the saleswoman suggested I pair it with a platinum or white gold necklace with engraved gold. When I told her I didn't have that budget, she gave me a 925 sterling silver fire-fighting chain necklace. It was very sturdy, but somewhat dull, and the workmanship lacked luster. The chain, with a little cord for connection, could be worn over my head without needing an extension chain. The seller offered a discount on that silver piece, selling it for a little over 170 yuan. It weighed less than 10 grams, which at the time wasn't considered high, but it wasn't low either. Judging by the chain's sturdiness, it was much better than a sweater chain I bought in another shop. It seemed to be a men's design, with a slightly wider and thicker shape.

The author owns a 925 sterling silver sweater chain, which he wore for a while. The chain is solid, has a good metallic luster, and is a decent length. However, it has many tiny circular connection points, making it quite thin and prone to breaking. At his usual jewelry store, he saw a men's necklace made of 925 sterling silver, weighing several tens of grams, also available in white silver and dark gold. He opted for the cheaper option and bought the delicate ten-gram version. He felt that spending more money on a larger silver necklace would have looked much more sophisticated. He also noticed several male barbers wearing silver necklaces and jewelry, which made them look young, stylish, and quite fashionable.

Previously, I bought a silver necklace with a pendant featuring a flat, round pearl. After I got a gold necklace—a 16-gram, 999 pure gold necklace with a gold Pixiu—I put the silver necklace away. Since 925 silver is recycled, that necklace and bracelet can be recycled or exchanged, but since I only spent a few hundred yuan on them, they're not worth much.
