How do i know the difference between silver and silverplate?

One way to tell the difference between silver and silverplate is to look for a hallmark or stamp that indicates the metal content. Silver will typically be marked with a number such as "925" or "Sterling," indicating that it is real silver, while silverplate will often be marked with terms like "EPNS" (Electro Plated Nickel Silver) or "A1." Additionally, silverplate will generally have a layer of another metal, such as nickel or copper, underneath the thin silver coating.

"966 sterling" does not have a standard meaning in relation to silver or sterling silver. Typically, sterling silver is marked with "925" to indicate its purity level of 92.5% silver. If you have a piece marked as "966 sterling," it may be a manufacturer's unique stamp or a mis-marking.


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.

Is a piece of jewelry marked silver really sterling?

Not necessarily.Firstly, it doesn't say "sterling", it says "silver," if they meant "sterling", they presumably would have stamped it "sterling."Secondly, there's no absolute guarantee that what it says is necessarily true.
