There are few things more annoying on these sites than the "small print" mixed in with so many descriptions of silver jewelry items.
I cannot count how many times I have been lured by a pretty picture and a Beautiful Sterling Such and Such heading only to scroll down, down and down to see buried among the descriptors "and this is not marked or tested but I believe that this item is sterling"
Sterling is not a matter of "belief". Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are matters of belief. If you cannot test an item and it has no markings, DO NOT LIST IT AS STERLING! This should be common sense, but the deceptive (?) practice goes on.
The Maximalist was fooled once and returned the silver plated piece of copper to the reluctant seller and got a full refund. Even with copper showing through, she insisted upon her "honest belief" that the item was sterling!
What a crocka.
This is one are that should be subject to rules, but instead it's caveat emptor deluxe.
So the Maximalist is warning you. Read the entire listing and don't fall for sterling Easter Bunnies.
