Antique Silver Searching

Determining whether your items of engravable silver jewelry are valuable or not is not as hard as it may sound, you could have it professionally appraised or you could take the time to do some research at your local library or on the Internet.

There are a number of facts that make your research easier, particularly the official hallmark and the stamp indicating the craftsman's name. They immediately disclose the item in which the item was made and by whom.

There are a few key items of information that will make your research easier: what is the marker's mark, the decade in which the item was crafted and so on. There are many websites dedicated to antique silver online and you could even enter into a web discussion with its members who may be able to offer you some valuable information about your replica silver jewelry collection.
