<p>[QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 10294561, member: 79460"]Yes, you can see the thickness or thinness of the silver in this photo. Less than a mm. They weigh just under 500g in total so if they were solid silver the scrap value alone would be quite considerable. As thin as the silver is, it still allows you to polish them forever and you never wear them out like you would silver plate. It also allows you to call it 'solid silver' and put a hall mark on them. It also makes them more affordable I guess. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]516676[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
