<p>[QUOTE="bennett, post: 16394, member: 274"]From personal experience, I've found many thousands of dollars worth of unmarked gold and silver, so NEVER assume that an unmarked piece is just costume! Many studio pieces are not marked, marks on old pieces get worn off or covered with grime, or the mark may simply be in a place you wouldn't expect. The acid-test kit is cheap, compared to giving away gold for practically free! I also recommend a diamond tester with moissanite discrimination. They cost about $100 and will pay for itself with one single diamond you find! Gorgeous bracelet, by the way! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
