<p>[QUOTE="ola402, post: 4406113, member: 182"]Can I weigh in on why you should have purchased this even if it's not sterling? Depending upon the price, I would have bought this regardless. Antique silver napkin rings are very collectible and very pretty (IMO). Certainly, if you resell, the sterling ring is better, but you can still sell the plated variety and make a decent profit. </p><p><br /></p><p>Before I stopped reselling, I bought a lot of plated items and did very well with them.
