Not sterling; plated brass or other cheap yellow metal. Black plating wears off fast.
I bought many pieces from apbjewelry in Thailand over the years. They have proven to be a dishonest company because the black rhodium plating wears off quickly due to their cheap methods of applying to cheap brass. Pieces don't last more than 3 months. They said they would repair items, so I shipped back. Now they have my jewelry and my money with no repair and no refund and no sterling silver. Often jewelry is poorly crafted using slather of soldering material instead of metal painted with so-called black rhodium.
