Recently found a necklace that appears to be silver, but the large tear drop shaped pendant is marked 950 AU China. It appears to be high quality. Any thoughts on this? I have never heard of 950 AU (AU is rthe chemical symbol for gold, but that would be higher gold concentration than 22k.....).

Thanks!

Have it tested, but the AU is probably a makers mark, the 950 is high quality silver....Or it's Platinum. Get it tested. Congrats either way.
 
Silver does not look like platinum.
 
I appreciate all the feedback!

I took it to a jeweler and was informed it is high quality Silver from Argentina (95% silver vs. the typical 92.5% sterling). Anyway, I am smiling!
