A » Identifying antique silver versus silver-plated items involves checking for hallmarks, which indicate purity and origin, typically found on genuine silver. Silver items often bear marks like "925" or "Sterling," while plated items may lack these. Additionally, examining wear patterns can help; silver-plated items might show base metal beneath the surface. Consult a professional appraiser for a definitive assessment, especially for valuable or intricate pieces.
