Hi everyone and happy new year, and hope every members are well.
I have a quastion about this necklace that i bought recently, what's the meaning of the marks on the claps? Really i spent a lot of time shearching the meaning of it, i think there ae two small stamps (star & crown)....
Hope anyone could help me.
Thanks again
Abdel,

 

Pretty necklace.
Is it silver or plated?
It looks too shiny to be silver, maybe rhodium plated?
Magnetic?
I think the crown was used as the Sheffield Assay mark but similar was used on plated items to mimic the mark.

 

Spanish silver. May well be rhodium plated on top, that's common.

 

I love that. Great design.

 

Quite a beautiful design.

 

It's quite typical of 70s and 80s Spanish pieces. I've a nice bracelet which was my mother's. Bought in Spain in the late 70s. That weave was popular.

 

Really i don't know of it's a silver or just plated, and it stick to a magnet

 

If it sticks to a magnet, it is plated at best.

 

I'm now confused, that's deffo a Spanish silver mark.

 

This necklace has that shiny rhodium plated look to it. My experience has been that some sterling items that have a rhodium plating have a slight magnetic reaction - charms and charm bracelets, for instance.

 

Rhodium is paramagnetic, with only a faint attraction, silver items (diamagnetic, faintly repellent) are first plated with nickel, which is ferromagnetic, then plated with rhodium - the nickel underplating is what causes a magnet to stick (with varying strengths).
