[QUOTE="northernridge, post: 13148, member: 215"]To my eye, this small charm (or pendant) looked like tarnished silver. And sure enough, it brightened up with a quick rub with polishing cloth. But I can't find it marked sterling or 925 anywhere... Next, what [I]is[/I] it exactly? Here's the front (measuring 1" x just over 1/2").
