<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 4465432, member: 5398&quot;]Your photos are great and I like your ring, but can&#039;t help with the age or stone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding testing kits I bought an Acid Test Kit for about $20 on Amazon two years ago (sold by PuriTEST). As others have mentioned, the acid for silver becomes useless after maybe a year or so, but the acids for gold still seem to be working (and you can use the 18k acid to test silver--silver marks on the black stone that&#039;s included in the kit will turn kind of a milky blue under the drop of acid).</p><p><br /></p><p>I also bought a diamond tester on Amazon just recently for $18.99 (Amazon&#039;s #1 Best Seller) the HMKIS Diamond Tester Pen. I mainly need it to identify glass stones, but it also supposedly will tell you if a stone is jade or some type of crystal--and of course diamonds. I&#039;ve only tried it on a pair of earrings so far and it confirmed that the stones are glass. For more specific identification of various gemstones you have to spend a lot more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
