What is the stamp 980 on silver items?
800 parts of silver per 1000, or 80% silver, 20% other metal. Sterling silver is 925/1000 or 92.5% silver. 800 silver is not sterling quality. .888 silver is "coin silver" as opposed to "stirling silver." It has more nickel in it to make it harder for use in coins. Coin silver must be 900 silver, by law.

What does 800 on the hallmark mean on Italian silver candelabra?
Solid silver comes in many different finenesses.First, silverplate is a very thin coat of pure (99.9%) silver that is used to cover up some other metal, such as copper or pewter.Second, the standard for solid silver in England is sterling, i.e. 92.5% actual silver, usually alloyed (mixed in) with copper. No matter where you test the item, it will always have 92.5% silver.Third, other countries use different mixes in their solid silver. In Italy, a longtime standard was 800 silver, i.e. 80% pure silver, mixed in with some other metal. Like sterling, because it is an alloy, no matter where you test the item, it will always have 80% silver.Most countries now use sterling, because that is what people want/expect, and it facilitates export, but historically, Germany has produced a lot of 835 silver; the Scandinavian counties used a lot of 830 silver; and so on. These are all solid silver alloys, as is sterling, and should never be thought of as silver plate.

What does 975 stamped jewelry mean?
"925" markings on sterling silver defines it as 92.5% pure silver with 7.25% being a strengthening alloy,usually copper. A "975" marking can only mean 97.5 % pure silver and indicates a high quality sterling item. It is not often seen,and my guess is that this must be a very old piece or a newer item that uses extra sterling silver in its production. Either way,if you own a "975",you have a very nice piece of sterling !!

No. 826 would be 82.6% silver, high silver content, but not high enough to be sterling, which is 92.5% (925). This is generally referred to as coin silver. Coins and some flatware are made from silver of this grade. Some European countries', and jewelry made in the 1930's and earlier also use this grade of silver.If there is a PB in front of it it may also be low-grade white gold, called Plumb Gold. 8K is barely considered gold these days.
