<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 904749, member: 5833"]When I was first working out Egyptian hallmarks, I took my newly acquired pair of earrings to my friendly Yemeni neighborhood convenience store proprietor for verification that mark indicated 12K. When he took on in his hand, he looked at it from different angles & asked What is this? Is this gold? Countries seem to have high standards for gold but not silver, or vice versa. In the global market, think silver less than 925 in fineness is not being used much anymore when 800 used to be common in countries that would not see gold under 18K as being worthy of the name.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
