[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 179146, member: 147"]The only way to be sure is to have it tested. I know it is marked 900 silver (which is not sterling, sterling is 925), but I have had Mexican jewelry marked silver that turned out to have no silver in it at all. I'm pretty sure the unreadable part of the mark is "Hecho en Mexico" which means made in Mexico. Also, I would not use items for sale as reference, especially listings on eBay. No one polices them and there are lots and lots of listings that are, at best, inaccurate. If you need to make sure for your catalog I would take it to someone who can confirm the metal and test the stones.[/QUOTE]
