3.Burn Test
The burn test is one of the best & oldest methods to check pure silk and duplicate silk. If you burn Pure silk thread then it slowly burns and smells like burning hair while touching the flame, but will stop burning almost immediately when the flame is removed. Fake silk will melt into beads, smell like burning plastic, and can also catch fire, continuing to burn when you remove the flame!
4.Weave & Look
The silk is weaved through both handloom and power-loom, and the look of silk weaved saree is gorgeous and shiny in handloom weave you can see little misplaces of threads but will be strongly weaved and power-loom the treads are aligned beautifully but weaving is a little loose.
