yes, i would like to know the same....is it real sterling silver? if you dont know and what "MARKINGS" means is ... is there a stamp on the back or on the bale (the loop that you put the chain through) that says .925 (which is the official stamp is the item is REAL STERLING SILVER). Another way you can tell is if it sticks to a magnet (maybe one off your refrigerator!) then it is NOT real silver. if it DOES NOT STICK to the magnet, then it is probably real sterling silver or silver-plated, which is not as good as sterling silver. hope this helps, and, welcome to LISTIA! its waaaay FUN, but, can be addicting and time consuming! sheri :-)
