How can I tell if silverware is real silver?
1 Answer
To tell if silverware is real silver, examine its markings. You may need a magnifying glass to do so. Most real sterling silver silverware will feature a hallmark that says "925," "STER" or "92.5%." If you're unable to find or clearly see a marking, consult a knowledgeable expert, such as an appraiser or antiques dealer, for assistance. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of silverware.
