It is silver plated with "pewter look". That is the description given by the manufacturer (Miles Kimball) when I ordered it last year. It really is beautiful and it doesn't look cheap or knocked off. It is not very shiny at all, it has a matte or brushed finish and it looks just like pewter. A year later it still looks beautiful. The urn inside is really brass as it is described.

I really don't think it's silver plating. It's quite heavy and larger than I thought. The chain might be plated, it's shiny but the heart is more of a matte finish and darker.

I purchased this as a gift. I don't know if it will keep sterling from tarnishing.

I have a couple of antique silver spoons that do okay with it. I never polish them but they're still tarnish free, just a dull silver look.

If it says brass gold finish, then it is the brass gold look, make sure you are not selecting nickel or silvertone, unless that's what you want!

Doubtful, the gold plating is good for reducing corrosion. If both are corrosion free there shouldn't be any difference. PS most higher quality connectors are at least gold colored, some are actually gold plated.

Plated I would not purchase again discolored within a month. Find a solid sterling silver .925 this is not a good bracelet

I haven't tried on it on sterling, but I would be very optimistic that it would. I don't know anything in the surface chemistry of silver that would give this epoxy a problem. It bonds like a weld to steel. Having said this, the stress put on jewelry by even normal use limits the places you can use any adhesive, and silver solder is the answer, not epoxy.

I would not use this on silver plated items. It actually ruined two pair of my earrings.

If I had to choose another finish to go with brushed nickel, I would go with stainless steel. It will be drabber than the brushed nickel, but not too much of a difference.

Brushed nickel would be my best guessBrushed nickel is my best guess...I love this piece.

I had experience polishing silver bracelets and it did an excellent job. You just have to be careful not to use too much compound and to select appropriate tool speed. Otherwise, you may damage silver or gold coating (in case jewelery is coated).

Most of these I have seen plated over copper or brass. Some are plated over sterling silver. These I believe are the prior.

I orderered silver jewelry to make a braclet it tells you if its real on the jewelry. I ordered silvery chains and silver eagle pendents have not had any problems. Also Amozen would see you got a return. I have ordered a lot from amazon and had to return very few productsand always ease of returns. Just read the decscription make sure it does not say filled or plated and you will be fine. carol FiteMy Bracelet is beautiful.

I doubt it. It does look silver in color when applied, but it is not a match to sterling silver. I bought it to save a pair of Ralph Lauren earrings that were sterling silver but the silver was beginning to wear off. This product definitely did not restore them back to their original beauty. It is more silver looking than the pink base metal, but it still doesn't look very nice. I won't wear the earrings anymore. I found the shine to be gone from any metal this solution touches. I am still looking for a product that will work.

i have seen both. i have the chrome finish but would have preferred the stainless. it is a much softer and warmer look, but i do not remember a hint of gold.

I use my drawer liner for sterling silver that is not used daily, but is frequently used (weekly or more). I think I am more careful with the silver rather than the flatware in another drawer, but the liner holds the pieces and I don't think scratching is an issue.

One of them is silver, and once of them is black. Na im just kidding get the cheaper one. I asked myself the same question; I've had both and noticed no differences.
