Does an "80" stamped on both sides of a silver tone necklace mean anything?

Answer by  itsalright (23)

It means that the chemical composition of the piece of jewlery contains 80% pure silver. The other 20% is most commonly copper, although many different metals may be used. It's up to the jewelers discretion which is best to use.

Yes "80" stamped on silver does have a meaning. It means that 80% of the piece is pure silver, where 20 percent is an alloy metal.
