In the US, sterling silver will ALWAYS be hallmarked with the word "sterling" or "925." Silver plated will never be hallmarked. Anything plated with a precious metal, no matter how thick the plating, will never be hallmarked.Neither sterling nor silverplate is magnetic, unless the plating is over a steel or iron core, which is rarely the case.

What is triple plated silver?
Triple-plated was a term used to define the thickness of the silverplate on a plated, rather than solid sterling, object. You see it most often on late 19th- and early 20th-century antiques. Objects could be double-plated, triple-plated, or quadruple-plated, with quadruple being the heaviest and, therefore, highest quality. Double-plated objects may have a silver surface as thin as 2/1000ths of an inch, while triple-plate may be approximately 4/1000ths, and quadruple-plate as high as 8/1000ths. The heavier the plating, the more durable the finish.
