<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cxgirl, post: 17886, member: 63&quot;]Hi,</p><p>I&#039;ve been researching cane handles and came across some that are called sterling silver with the mark R925, which I thought would mean sterling. At the bottom of the description is this:</p><p><i>HALLMARK EXPLANATION: The Italian-made handle is hallmarked &#039;R925&#039;: the European hallmark for silver that has been applied in a layer over a moulded head.&nbsp; The R stands for &#039;rivestito&#039;, Italian for &#039;covered&#039;.&nbsp; The &#039;925&#039; means that the metal used contains at least 925 parts pure silver to each 1000 parts.&nbsp; European &#039;925 silver&#039; is the same quality of silver that in the UK is referred to as &#039;sterling silver&#039;.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Wouldn&#039;t this mean they are silver-plate rather than sterling?</p><p>Mary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
