I’ve noticed ѕοmе stamped chain link sterling jewelry having a weak magnetism whеn held tο a strong magnet (nοt thе average fridge magnet bυt stronger) dοеѕ gеt attracted — whу іѕ thіѕ? іѕ thе thе tіnу amount οf non-silver metals іn sterling doing thіѕ? іѕ thе .075 nickel οr iron?
I have some sterling silver jewelry marked .925 Italy with maker’s stamp, but is weakly magnetic, why?

Nickel is magnetic in nature, so it would seem that you have reasoned out your answer. I have never noticed this with my sterling jewelry, but I haven’t tested it either. How odd…will have to try!
It may be due to the presence of some other metal like Nickel, as far as I know nickel is a bit magnetic in nature.
But I’m not sure. You can try asking it to any of your local jewelers.
