I have a question about a cuff bracelet that I recently acquired from an estate. It is obviously sterling silver, in good shape though darker in colour (which may be patina?). Where something like this would normally have a "925" stamp, this cuff has a "1000" stamp. I feels like normal sterling - that is to say that it is not softer in any way. Would you know anything about this? I could try to provide a picture if that would help. Just let me know.
Many thanks in advance for any information you are able to provide!
Cheers!
This is in response to the previous comment.
I suppose the '1000' could mean 100% silver. I've never seen this because the metal would not be strong enough for most uses. However, your statement about the hardness of this piece runs against 100% silver.
If you have a contact in the jewelry business, this might something they have seen before and could give you a better answer.
Thanks, Silver Jim! I appreciate your taking the time to answer. I'll speak to a jewellery store owner that I know the next time I see him and report back with any interesting information if I get it.
Cheers
