Is That A Real Sterling Silver Necklace?

What kind of question is that to ask a beautiful woman.  That question deserves a slap in the face. So I'll ask it. Is that a real Sterling Silver necklace?  Courtney Cox would not wear fake.  From a distance, her necklace looks stunning.  To tell if the necklace, and in particular the pendant is real Sterling Silver, there has to be a stamp on the back of the piece as .925.  A stamp like this is required by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).  Sterling Silver is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper or other metal.  If it is silver plated, it must be labeled as such.  If there is no label or stamp on the jewelry piece, take it back to Walmart for a refund before your wife or girl friend sees it.  Then go on line and buy the highest quality Sterling Silver necklace from Sterling Canyon. You want to avoid the slap in the face don't you?
