<p>[QUOTE="Claudia Harris, post: 26559, member: 156"]Well, I decided to use my 18K acid to test this with. First I tested a known silver piece (Jane Seymour heart necklace) and got a milky white test results. Then I tested one of the beads and got the same results so, from that, can I assume the beads are silver? I have examined the turquoise beads as closely as possible and do not see any white in them. I did find one that has a small chip near the hole and there is no white in that either. I am such a coward when it comes to listing things of which I am unsure. I usually just give up and put everything in a lot but got badly burned on one of those last year and have not listed anything since. But, I still buy - does that make any sense? Thanks for all the help. Claudia[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
