How to Tell Sterling Silver from Plated Silver
Last updated 9 months ago
Sterling silver jewelry has identifiable markings that will help you differentiate between a genuine piece and a silver-plated piece. Examine your item to look for markings that say Sterling, .925, or 925/100. You can also look for markings, like lions or coats of arms, which may indicate it is from England, Ireland, or Scotland.
Single-digit numbers or the letters EP indicate that the item is just silver plated. Silver-plated items do not have a high value. To learn more about the differences between the two, watch this video.
