Mine is Silver Plated.
That type of jewelry is called vermeil. It is made of sterling silver and plated with 14 karat gold, not solid gold.
No, Rodgers nickel silver is silver plated. In fact, 99 times out of 100, sterlingware (sterling silverware, platters, and tea sets) are marked "Sterling", "Ster", or "925". Other silver markings also indicate silver plate, such as "Community Silver", "Oneida", and "Triple Silver". Visit the link below to learn more about various silver markings.
First.. are you sure it is Sterling? Onieda made a lot of "silver plated" items, which currently have zero value. The word "STERLING" needs to be stamped on the tray in order for it to be sterling and worth money.
No. Plated is not the same thickness as plated.
The word "plate" is the answer. Community Plate is silver plated and has no silver value but many of the patterns have a collectible value. There is a link in the related links with a list of some of the more popuular Community patterns with links to replacement values.
18krgp stands for 18 karat rolled gold plated, which means it is a jewelry item made of a base metal that is coated with a layer of 18 karat gold. This process makes the item more affordable than solid gold, but it is not considered real white gold. If an item is labeled as 18k white gold, it means it is made of an alloy of gold and other metals such as silver or palladium, with a higher gold content than gold-plated items.

I am sorry to tell you, not much. With the scramble for sterling, the silver plate is being chucked to one side at a furious pace. Also the housing bust did not help. Here in Florida the Goodwills, Salvation Army and thrift stores are filled to the brim with silver plated flatware. The best way to sell, is in pieces on ebay. A nice silver plated flatware set with serving pieces are common at 25.00 to 100.00
Yes silver plated cables are actually recommended more over the gold plated ones. A lot of people say that the gold plated ones are a waste of money since you can get the same result or better from the silver plated.
