    Technically this is correct, however I have a friend who exhibits all
    over the world, has pieces in the Smithsonian permanent collection
    and a London museum, and he uses a sterling base and does 24kt
    doublee, or granulates with 18 kt ,or uses 18 kt twisted wire. He
    marks it on the back, on the sterling with any and all karats of what
    the metals are, with his hallmark, the series number, and has been
    doing this for at least 40 years. 

    He sells at Mobilia and Aaron Faber galleries for many years. 

    These pieces are not advertised or sold in a way to mislead anyone as
    to what they are made of.
