Great Video. I have a unique cigarette case that says Sterling and there looks as if it's either a Gothic Crown or Gothic Initials, JB Co with an E through the JB and then there is a number 1130. Do you have any idea what maker this comes from? I tested the case, it is sterling silver as it shines up nicely and leaves the black marks on my white cleaning cloth, but I have no idea who made this. My cousin in Long Island, NY gave it to me and it was her mother's, so I'm thinking it was made any where from the 1920's to 1950's? I have no idea what the number means, and I know that 925 is the mark for sterling, hmmm...stumped, any help would be appreciated. Thank You either way, great informational video. - od

I once bought a gold ring that didn't have any markings on it. It was so freaking ugly maybe someone made it himself at home. Anyhow it was gold, I don't remember the karat. I made on it $50 and paid $3. I'd love to know better how to find UNMARK gold and silver items right on spot. - od

Today with the gold prices being so high, it is not uncommon to find real diamonds and natural stones in sterling as the average Joe isn't buying gold jewelry right now due to the price. (new jewelry of course) I have noticed most local box stores are only selling gold over brass, gold over silver, or sterling in the jewelry departments.
Also, I have found many marks on the curved side of the ear ring backs as well as on the top of the part that you twist on the screw back ear rings. - od

You're unlikely to ever find anything .999 apart from bullion or bullion coins, it is too soft for most jewellery use, and will wear or bend, so it is alloyed with copper usually. - od

I went through the same thing, scale is on its way so I wont go back to them unless I need it for a life saving operation or something haha. TFW - od

Because of not having a scale, I used to go to jewelery stores. I would come somewhat prepared, knowing the value per oz,, ask them the weight and calculate myself. Then they would give me an offer far below spot (they gotta make money too obviously), but the thing that always ticked me off was how blatantly they will lie to make a buck. 5 of out 6 I went to just fed me lies. To anyone out there picking...don't trust these slimy bastards. - od
