Vintage Tiny Collectable Rolex Bucherer of Switzerland Spoon: 975,000 ppm Silver (more pure than 925), no LEAD!
When tested with an XRF instrument this tiny vintage “Rolex” spoon by Bucherer of Switzerland turned out to actually be fine silver! This was a surprise to me as I have found Lead in a LOT of different collectable miniature spoons like this.
Here’s the full XRF reading set for this Rolex spoon (when tested for at least one minute):
- Chromium (Cr): 3,917 +/- 197 ppm
- Bromine (Br): 178 +/- 57 ppm
- Zinc (Zn): 9,054 +/- 802 ppm
- Copper (Cu): 6,444 +/- 824 ppm
- Vanadium (V): 305 +/- 100 ppm
- Titanium (Ti): 383 +/- 125 ppm
- Silver (Ag): 975,000 +/- 3,700 ppm
Both the bowl and handle of the spoon were tested with similar results. The XRF testing is science-based and the results are accurate and replicable.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for reading and for sharing my posts.
