<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9781073, member: 2844&quot;]You could test it yourself. Most of us &#039;joolies&#039; have a home testing kit. It uses acid to test gold, in several finenesses. </p><p>I bought mine years ago on ebay, but there are other venues. Shop around for the best price.</p><p><br /></p><p>The kit comes with a testing stone. You rub an inconspicuous part of the necklace on the stone until it leaves a stripe. That doesn&#039;t need much pressure, and you can see a stripe after a second or so. </p><p>Then you place a drop of one of the acids on the stripe, so not on the necklace. If the stripe dissolves, the fineness is lower than the corresponding testing acid, and you go on to the next bottle and repeat the process until the stripe doesn&#039;t dissolve. If it doesn&#039;t, you have found your approximate fineness.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
