Material
925 Sterling Silver base with Gold-Plated (Vermeil) dolphin accent. Hallmark '925' is visible.

Description
This is a two-tone dangle charm featuring a jumping dolphin attached to a sterling silver bale. The bale is compatible with European-style slide-on charm bracelets (like Pandora). The dolphin is gold-plated, and the bale is stamped with a '925' mark indicating sterling silver content.
Key Features
Sterling silver 925 hallmark; universal compatibility with major slider-style charm bracelets; popular aquatic theme; two-tone aesthetic.
Authenticity Indicators
The '925' stamp indicates silver purity, though the lack of a maker's mark (like ALE for Pandora) suggests it is a third-party or generic artisan piece. Confidence in material: High. Confidence in brand: N/A (Generic).
Flaws to Note
Significant rubbing/fading of the gold plating on the dolphin; heavy tarnish inside the '925' stamp and on the silver surfaces; surface scratches from previous wear.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, Mercari, or Poshmark. These platforms are ideal for small, lightweight jewelry items that can be shipped via ground advantage/bubble mailers.
Selling Tips
Use a silver polishing cloth to clean the bale and improve photography appeal. Use keywords like '925 Sterling Silver,' 'Dolphin Charm,' and 'Fits Pandora' in the title. Photography should include a macro shot of the '925' stamp to prove material quality.
