I'm not sure where to post this but I have chosen this sub-forum! I bought a piece of jewellery from a charity shop as I figured even if I did make a mistake, at least the money would be well used. I am hoping that the whole piece is solid silver but I have my doubts. The ring is stamped 925 and, what looks like a scottie dog, is stamped FRANZ LOUISSICA. On research (if one can call it that!) I find that there is a mishmash of results. Some adverts state similar items with similar markings are solid silver but others list them as perhaps white metal pieces. I can't find a maker called Franz Louissica either and maybe this is just a brand name? My gut feeling is that this item is very modern and faux and possibly made in bulk somewhere! If anyone can enlighten me I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks, Greg.
