Understanding 'G Silver' on Pearl Necklaces: What It Means

"G Silver" on a pearl necklace typically means that the metal components (clasp, chain, findings) of the necklace are gold-plated silver.

Here's a breakdown:

* G: This usually stands for "gold" or "gold-plated."

* Silver: This refers to the base metal. In this case, the base metal is sterling silver or another form of silver alloy.

Therefore, a "G Silver" marked necklace is not solid gold, but rather a layer of gold applied over a silver base. The value will be lower than solid gold but higher than just silver.
