<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 2655648, member: 2844&quot;]You can find the &#039;sterling&#039; mark on silver, silver plated, and silvertone metal. Unfortunately it is one of the most unreliable methods of marking, a &#039;sterling&#039; stamp can be bought by anyone.</p><p>Since the renewed opening of China as a business model, we have a new problem. They are faking vintage and antique jewellery styles, and these fakes even end up in antiques shops all over the world.</p><p><br /></p><p>The best thing is knowledge, also of fakes, keeping your eyes open, and of course testing, as you did. </p><p>Check sites like ebay to see if you can find several or even many listings for the same locket you are interested in. If you do, that should set off alarm bells.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>And we can&#039;t spot everything, consequently we all make mistakes. Ask a refund from the seller and return an item if it is not as described. You have every right too.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
