    Can anyone identify if this is authentic or a copy/fake - no hallmarks just a sticker claiming 24kt gold rimmed guilded silver
    Im skeptical, but purchased it anyway for $7 - any help?

    Guilded silver = plated ,
    Especially if it's got no hallmarks

    For $7 I'd drop it on the ground and see how much 24kt rim is paint
