    Red face REAL Sterling Siver ... or Not?

    In Mexico can you really trust that jewelry with the little "sterling silver" stamp is the REAL thing?

    LuLu, look for the 925 stamped sterling!! It is the best!!
    Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

    I'd stay away from the street vendors and stick with the stores listed by the ship.

    Most of the time the ship will warranty your purchase.

    Just so you know.....
    Before, the .925 stamp was a guarantee of real silver. Now the beach vendors stamp it on also. so be aware.
    I also recommend that you go to a store. Most stores have the real thing, specially the reputable ones.
    In Mazatlan, Michaels Gallery, Omars (across from Pueblo Bonito), Yoler, Indio and many more........
