Chinese .925, how reliable?

[Parkit]

This is one of my recent ring finds (from the bench side of the home team seats, near the fence). It's marked ADI .925 and has CHINA stamped inside. I wouldn't be suprised to learn that pieces from China (whether gold, silver or whatever) might be a bit "off" from actual silver content, does anyone have a good idea how close to actual .925 content these items are? Thanks for any info.

ADI is a fairly big jewelery line. I think that if it is stamped " .925 ADI".........it probably is sterling silver.

Nice looking ring by the way!

Thanks for the info, I need to give more credit to the Chinese than I thought I guess. By the way I have no idea what the mounted hunk of rock is, it does appear to be stone of some type that's faceted. It's heavy, the ring as a whole is 7.5g. Thanks again.

You can buy a bottle of silver test solution for about 3 bucks. It is very easy to use.

I've found my share of fake 925 jewelry. Many of them were also marked China. Your ring looks pretty nice. It's probably silver.

It is sterling, and has a cushion cut, man made, aqua marine. Similar rings from ADI sell new for about $50. Enjoy

There ain't nothing the Chinese make that is close to anything. They're the biggest counterfeit artists and junk producers in the world.
