IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE – PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING
This item was purchased at an estate sale and is being offered in its current condition.
The item bears what appears to be a “.925” marking, as shown in the photographs. However, I am not a precious metals expert, jeweler, or professional appraiser.
I have not performed an XRF analysis, acid test, or any other professional precious-metal verification. I have not taken the item to a jeweler or precious-metal dealer for authentication.
The only informal testing performed was a magnet test. Please understand that a magnet test alone cannot establish whether an item is genuine sterling silver.
I cannot guarantee that this item is genuine sterling silver, solid .925 silver, or that it contains any specific amount of precious metal.
The item is being offered at a price substantially below what its theoretical silver melt value would be if the entire 106 grams were genuine .925 sterling silver. This discounted pricing reflects the uncertainty regarding its composition and authenticity.
The buyer is purchasing the item based on the photographs, visible markings, physical characteristics, and disclosures provided.
RETURNS POLICY
No returns accepted for buyer’s remorse or changes of mind.
Please purchase only if you are comfortable with the item’s unverified metal composition and condition. No guarantee of precious-metal purity or authenticity is being provided.
