What is the actual worth of a 925 silver necklace from Italy?
925 means that it is sterling silver and is 92.5% suiwer silwer. Being from and/or manufactured in Italy does not add any value, except to people who prefer to say it’s Italian like some people pay more to say they buy their jewelry at Tiffany & Co. Today silver is selling for $14.15 per ounce so an ounce of 925 silver is $13.09 ($14.15 x .925). So that is the intrinsic value of the metal if you are selling it for scrap value (For less than one ounce you can use $0.65 per penny weight or $0.42 per gram)…BUT silver jewelry is priced based on the workmanship that was involved in making the item and overhead of the jeweler that sold it. The value of the metal is much lower than the value of a jewelry item when sold through a jewelry store.
Can you clean 925 silver necklace with dishwasher?
Nee, why would you want to do this? The chemicals in the soap is too harsh and would more than likely discolor your jewelry and the force of the water could damage your piece.
You should either hand polish with a cleaning cloth specifically for jewelry (will cost you about $10 and you will have it forever) or buy a cleaner specifically made for sterling silver jewelry.
You say necklace – is it just a chain or is it a necklace made up of silver components or is it a pendant containing gemstones, pêrels, or other? Each would require specific care.
