By the clasps it will say .925. If it doesn't have that it's not real sterling silver and you have to correct what you said to someone earlier. You can't just say it's sterling silver. If it doesn't have the stamp that person can get a refund of their credits if they win because it would be fraud whether you meant it or not. Just trying to help you out! Let me know so I know how much I will be willing to bid. It's very pretty even if it's costume jewelry!
