[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 137786, member: 267"]Can you test it with a magnet? brass is supposed to magnetic... If it was plated, then I would expect to see a stamp - that's a more expensive, labor intensive process and a manufacturer would want that known, to show quality. "Beefy" I agree - it has a sturdy look to it, but that's partly why I wonder it it's not older. Newer jewelry used less and less metal for settings. I think evelyb and ownedby know more than I![/QUOTE]
