            ~Vintage & Antique Silver Hallmarks~
    Vintage & antique silver pieces are my personal favorite to collect (especially rings) however, these can prove tough to research. Many beautiful pieces can have worn, hard to read marks. Rings can be very tough to read because even a magnifier can't always reach the inside of a ring and give you the clear look you need. With a huge hallmark data base & many unidentified marks, sometimes I have to settle for my best guess. I do love the challenge of discovering a new hallmark and maker. Here's a few of my favorite silver hallmark research sites....Good Luck!!
