<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 9761831, member: 36"]That's been known, or a real clasp attached to a fake chain. That's been done too. I bought one this week that's 10k and genuine where I looked at the clasp first, but usually I'm looking at the links. If they're soldered together your odds go way up. Unsoldered jump rings mean sterling or gold-filled. Soldered ones usually mean good metal because someone cared. Another one is hollow links; no one hollows out brass.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
