About Siam Sterling Pieces: The Siam sterling and sterling silver both refer to types of silver jewelry. Siam sterling is an antique type of silver jewelry that was made in Thailand (formerly Siam) during the mid-20th century. It usually features intricate design with black, red and green enamel detailing. It is often marked 'Siam Sterling' or 'Sterling,' meaning it is 925 sterling silver. I have an ENORMOUS collection of Siam sterling pieces, keyword search with the "Siam" and the entire collection will come up. All of the Siam pieces in my shop are sterling. C O N D I T I O N: very good condition, some moderate signs of age. Some sections along the front are a bit more dull that the others. This has been accounted for in the cost. Enclosure works perfectly. I will re-shine and buff before shipping. S I Z E: width: 1.85" height: 2.25" W E I G H T: 10g
