Hi Guys & Girls,

First time here & desperate for some advice.

I have recently bought 2 Pearl Necklaces at auction, for no other reasons than they looked pretty & to sell them on.

On the clasps of the necklaces are stamped 925 JKa. I have searched & searched to try & find out what this means but have come up pretty much empty handed
.

Is there anyone out there that can shed some light on thi for me - any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Budgie20020

Hi,

probably it does mean that the clasp is silver. The letters probably depend on in which country the clasp has been made.

Hi ,
Jerin's right about this. The numbers 925 mean that the clasp is marked as being sterling silver. The letters are the trademark of the company or person that made the clasp.
