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.
That is not totally the case. Most of the jewellry just has not been hallmarked and that is what put's a lot of people off. If there was one particular piece that you really like and you are told it is Sterling Silver, one can send it to the Assay Office here in UK to have it tested and hallmarked
No. Anything that is plated with a precious metal such as silver, gold or platinum, will not be hallmarked no matter how thick the plating. The plating is not the initial material.925 will only be on sterling silver jewellery.
That depends on the country - I believe 925 means silver where this sort of number is used. I believe it means 92.5% pure silver. However in Britain (the home of sterling silver), silver has always been hallmarked by the government to indicate its purity.
The word 'Golsil' indicates an item which is made from solid sterling silver (usually hallmarked) which is encased in a sleeve of gold.
Jack yolles in 1943 Must be prior to this as Mappin & Webb produced a hallmarked silver set as early as 1934.
The purity hallmark of sterling silver is 925 (92.5% silver and 7.5% copper) Some sterling silver jewellery items also have sponsors initials, lion or anchor hallmarks. If the jewellery is not hallmarked, an acid test can be used to verify the silver content.
Silver hallmarks in shape of a sword was and is used in the Netherlands on items too small for a full hallmarking and on excess pieces of fully hallmarked items made of multiple parts.
