Please seller don't copy. ☛ Are your Chains SOLID sterling silver? This is a good question in the particular venue we are in. Absolutely! All of my Chains are made from 92.5 Sterling Silver mostly Italy and some US, never from nickel silver or silver filled, not silver plated, or silver chain color, antique silver or sterling silver plated, that is confusing. With the price of silver increasing by the day (and at a record high) please beware of sellers with low prices and vague material descriptions. Many large jewelry suppliers are offering silver filled raw materials for the first time ever. These all ready started to show up in many shops. If a price seems too good to be true...please check the fine print! The sterling or 925 quality mark that is stamped directly on the object or attached as a tag indicates that the entire piece is sterling silver, it is again the US and CANADIAN LAW sell jewelry products stamped 92.5 that are not solid Sterling Silver; if a piece is marked or has an attached tag that says "sterling" or "925," it must be SOLID sterling Silver, not sterling silver plated or sterling silver filled which last 2 to 6 months then will turn dark. More about Sterling Silver: The law states that Sterling is a quality mark that actually is supposed to meet a standard that 92.5 % of the product is Silver. This means that items advertised as sterling over base metal is an unlawful use of the word sterling. Other unlawful uses meant to confuse the readers would be that the product is Sterling over brass or some other metal. Both of the examples are using a small amount of silver (if indeed any) over a larger amount of some other metal are misapplying the word, Sterling. Furthermore, many vendors advertise solid sterling but in fact, their products will not meet the standard of 92.5 percent content of silver. This is known as undercoating. This is also an unlawful practice, but much harder to spot. When you see the term "Silver Plated" or "Sterling Plated" used you will not get a product with "92.5 Sterling Silver". Long ago it was ruled out as proper terminology. A good indication that products are misrepresented is if the seller uses incorrect terminology in their listings. I hope this information helps you where to buy your Sterling Silver jewelry!! ☛ Good luck out there :)
