Marika Somogyi 1987 Sterling Sliver Sherlock
Marika Somogyi 1987 Sterling Sliver Sherlock Holmes Pendant And Chain. The medal is in the form of Holmesâ?? head. He wears the familiar deer-stalker cap, a device Doyleâ??s Holmes never wore in any of the four novels or 56 short stories, but is a creation of the theatrical Holmes. His collar is upturned, covering the lower portion of his face. A keyhole pierces the area around his left eye. On the reverse, the full name â??Sherlockâ? is inscribed in script. â??Holmesâ? is spelled out in capital letters, with the shape of a magnifying glass forming the â??Oâ? and his famous pipe (the curved pipe is another theatrical invention; the Holmes of the stories preferred a straight-stemmed pipe) forming the â??S.â? Weight 2.18 oz. Estimated more than 50 yrs old. 925 Sterling Silver consisting of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Tested Positive using Nitric Acid Chemical Scratch Test, Cloth Rub Test, Smell Test, and Magnet Test. Markings of 925 or Sterling stamp. The reason silver needs to be combined with other metals is that it is very difficult to make great designs with just pure silver, which is very soft and malleable. A bit of hardness has to be introduced by adding other metals such as copper. That is why jewelers are capable of making the most intricate an complex designs with 925 Sterling Silver. Silver is one of the most valuable elements next to gold. Mexico is the leading producer of silver, followed by the United States, Canada, Australia, Spain, Peru, and Russia. Many countries do not require their precious metal items to be stamped and therefore we test to ensure we accurately represent the product. Size and/or Weight: See Measurement Photo.
