[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 340545, member: 2844"]It is delightful and very beautifully made, I can see why you bought it. The whitish inside of the metal doesn't look like silver or silverplate to me. It looks like base metal. But best check. French silver would be marked. Have you checked for tiny marks in inconspicuous places? French marks are usually around the edges, but can be hidden somewhere and look part of the design. There are usually several marks, often in several places.[/QUOTE]
