<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 605719, member: 51"]Maybe to be on the safe side check for sterling for the cross earrings. Going from the one small photo of the front, it looked like a lower end setting, although maybe a close up photo of the front, a real close up, would give more info. Thinking these are from the last 30 years, you might expect a clear maker's mark if sterling, not blurry illegible -- but having said that I don't have them in the hand. Sounds like part of the construction is positively not sterling if the magnet attracted it. But that the magnet did not attract the rest of it doesn't mean silver, many base metals used in jewelry do not attract a magnet. Best just to test if any question though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
