Re: Description of Goods etc .....
I've found that the vast majority of silver coming from China isn't really sterling at all. It may be hallmarked .925 but that really means nothing. I've been told that a lot of the silver coming from parts of Asia contains a lot of lead as well. I simply don't purchase from over there anymore - too many risks for me.
I know that here in the States it's a crime not to be honest as to the quality of a metal. If I'm not sure, I state the metal is plated.
If something is priced low then I really think there is some sort of issue with the overall quality and purity of the metal. If someone won't answer questions about the item then I'd stay away. A good seller will answer all questions honestly and quickly.

All correct, I agree. (and not only China)
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it's most likely a duck!
