made of gold or silver, this is dependent on the items referred to, it may mean some are gold and some are silver. Legally to sell an item as either gold or silver it should be fully hallmarked. If the term refers to a single piece gold decoration may have been added to a silver piece (I have a Victorian bangle with gold flowers on a silver base) or the item may be gilded gold over silver or vermeil gold plated silver (this is usually stamped 925. It may also mean gold or silver tone which is neither gold nor silver.
