[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 265385, member: 2844"]Yes it says plata, Spanish for silver, and sterling. Sterling silver. Underneath plata it says 925 which is the sterling silver grade. That means it contains 92.5% silver an 7.5 % other metals, as all sterling silver should. The mark on the left is 'hecho en Mexico' (a bit sloppy, no n or o), made in Mexico, another silver country.[/QUOTE]
