How is Italian silver marked?
1 Answer
How Italian silver is marked varies. However, the majority of pieces will have the word "Italy" stamped onto their surfaces, as well as the numbers 800 or 925. The 800 marking means that a piece is 80% silver and 20% alloy, while the 925 stamp indicates sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver and 7.5% alloy. Some Italian silver may also feature a maker's mark. Find a collection of Italian silver objects on 1stDibs.
