[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 9547209, member: 15376"][CENTER]I've been scrounging around eBay looking at brooches and I've found a few pieces in lots that look a lot like silver to me. Most of them are unmarked and listed as such, but at 15-25 per lot, I don't want to be wrong! Do these examples look like silver, and any tips on how to spot it through funky and fuzzy photos? Looks more like metal, but maybe? [ATTACH=full]454824[/ATTACH] With the Ermine, I'm feeling like this is a Pierre Toulhoat ring? If it is it'll be 925. [ATTACH=full]454827[/ATTACH] The bar is listed as silver, but that flower..?[ATTACH=full]454828[/ATTACH] And the rest: [ATTACH=full]454829[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]454830[/ATTACH] I can't see a mark on the clasp, but looks like an 800 silver brooch I have. [ATTACH=full]454831[/ATTACH] I'm looking to get my 10e off eBay offer before it expires tomorrow, so I'm on the hunt! TYSM![/CENTER][/QUOTE]
