If this is silver why is gold?

[chukers]

I found this recently... I dunno where... but it looks to read 925... but then why is it gold in color?

Am I reading it wrong?

Whats the deal?

could be Vermeil that is gold plating over top of sterling silver

Definition: A product that is made from a base of sterling silver that is coated or plated on its surfaces with gold of at least 10K finess and at least 2.5 microns thick (100/1,000,000 inch).
The term vermeil cannot be used if the sterling is covered with a base metal before being coated with gold unless the presence of the base metal is disclosed
