Chrome plated silver...???...and trick with a loupe.

[Roland58]

At my favorite soccer complex yesterday, hitting the "Frisbee Golf" course, I was locating around the 16th "tee." I found a silver ring that raised a number of questions. Has anyone here ever seen chrome plated silver? Odd, I know, but, I can't determine what else may cause the following symptoms of flaking:
***I highlighted the maker's mark that shows GNA OG, with 925 and an 'M' inside a diamond shape below that. To the right is a highlight of the plating flaking off!***

This picture was taken with the camera set on macro:

This picture (cropped) was shot with the same camera through my jeweler's loupe!........worked like a champ, just have to hold the loupe over the lens and move the camera and loupe in and out together to get the focus:

If you have a digital camera and a jeweler's loupe, give it a try.........it worked for me!!

Well poopybutt. I thought I had come up with a new idea. Oh well, I'll take this opportunity to inform those that are not aware of the method!

The ring is an obvious 'cheapo.' But, it is marked as silver and any silver is good!!

Re: Chrome plated silver...probably

rhodium plated not chrome. nice find as rhodium is is expensive! google rhodium plated sterling silver and see how many hits you get!

That is a neat find and close up. I shot some pics of the moon once through a pair of binoculars.lol
I like the loop idea and will try it.
Thanks for sharing
