In the last batch of vintage brooches I bought I noticed this double dolphin pin was particularly heavy. On the back it had a faint stamp that looked like 925, which is a hallmark of silver purity (as in 92.5% solid silver.) Although I rarely clean old jewelry, as I like the patina age gives most pieces, I decided to give this one a bath in silver cleaner to see if I was right.
And I was, as you can see from the results. This piece is definitely near-solid silver.
My favorite person will be the happy recipient. :)
