Hi all - I've recently encountered clasps on necklaces sold by beading shops and those on newer chains, although stamped 925, are magnetic and true sterling silver is never magnetic. I'm wondering if the US market is being ripped off and being sold clasps made outside of the country, marked 925, but actually not entirely made of sterling silver. Has anyone else encountered this?
