look in the phone book under jewelery or jewelers. ignore the listings for the stores like zales and kay. look for stores that are individual owned and operated. many of these have custom jewelry design or custom orders in the ad. take your design in and ask about the cost. Don't be afraid to comparison shop. if you don't have a picture of the design, you will have to sit down with the jeweler to have them draw it out. this can add signifigantly to the price. good luck

What is the difference between sterling silver and real silver?
Sterling silver IS real silver, but it's alloyed with 7.5% copper or other metals to make it less soft. Old US dimes, quarters, halves, and dollars were made of an alloy called coin silver that had 10% copper in it so that the coins wouldn't wear out too quickly. Sterling silver means at least 92.5 percent silver. Pure silver is too soft to be any use for jewelery as it's almost like lead so copper is added to give some strength to it by jewelers.
What does rci on 925 sterling jewelry mean?
"RCI" on 925 sterling jewelry likely refers to the initials of the manufacturer or the company that produced the piece. The number "925" indicates that the jewelry is made of 92.5% pure silver, which is the standard for sterling silver. It's common for manufacturers to mark their pieces with their own initials or logo for identification purposes.
What is the difference between inlaid silver and sterling?
"Inlaid" can have two different meanings relative to silver. First, silver inlay may refer to silver plate over a base metal. If the item isn't stamped .925 or "sterling," then the term refers to a form of silver plate. The silver content is very low (not reclaimable). Sterling silver must contain 92.5 % pure silver, usually mixed with 7.5% copper. Sterling silver is an alloy; the metal is homogeneous throughout the piece. "Inlaid" can also mean the silver is set into wood or another metal so that it forms part of the item's design, or is carved or molded so that precious or semi-precious stones may be set into it (usually refers to jewelry). You will need to consider the context in order to decide how the term should be defined.

WM A Rogers AA heavy Oneida LTD. Is it silver or stainless steel?
I have a full set of WM A. Rogers AA heavy Oneida LTD. Flatware... It says on the back of the knives "STAINLESS". I hope this answers your question. I have a similar set of flatware and the "Stainless" on the knife means the blade is stainless. However, the handle and other parts of set could be stainless or silverplate. WM A Rogers did mostly silver plated flatware, not sterling silver. If it tarnishes it is most likely silver-plated.
