    The jewelry is 2896.54_Kg/m^3 less dense than pure silver

    Explanation:

    Density of jewellery = (mass of jewellery) : (volume of jewellery)

    =3.25g : 0.428mL = 0.00325Kg:0.000000428m^3 = 7583.46Kg/m^3

    The density of silver is 10490_Kg/m^3 which is (10490 - 7583.46) 2896.54_Kg/m^3 more dense than the jewellery

    The density of Silver [Ag]

    The weight of Silver per cubic centimeter is 10.49 grams or the weight of silver per cubic meter is 10490 kilograms, that is the density of silver is 10490 kg/m³; at 20°C (68°F or 293.15K) at a pressure of one atmospheres.
