Small Roman Silver Ring

Got this about 20 years ago from an antique dealer. No exact date but it was too cool to pass up.

Grabbed these cuff links today. Don’t have anything to wear them with but they looked too good to pass up

Italian Silver Trinket box

Absolutely love these 800 silver trinket boxes from Italy. They tend to be really small but have great bit of weight to them. This one that fit in the palm of my hand and was almost 56g of 800 or ~40g of pure silver.

Believe it’s from the 1920-30s era based solely on design. These weigh next to nothing

What is 5925 silver and is it worth buying?

Last Tuesday I was visiting a jewelry shop. I saw a small silver piece labeled 5925. It looked shiny and neat. That made me curious about other silver items. I checked the shop shelves. Most silver jewelry was simple rings and chains. Very few had special numbers or designs. Options were limited. I could not compare sizes or designs properly. To check more variety and options, while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba I found many 5925 silver items. Some were rings. Some were bracelets. Some were chains. Some had engravings. Some were plain. Some were shiny. There were many designs, sizes and prices. It was easy to compare everything. I also noticed some pieces were for casual wear. Some were for parties. Some were heavy. Some were light. Some were for men. Some were for women. This helped me understand which silver items suit different occasions. Now I am thinking, is it better to buy 5925 silver items online for variety or from local shops to check quality first?
