[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 134593, member: 118"]Brought this ring to a pawn shop. It is marked 10k and the guy said right away it is not solid as low karats would be more bright, or something like that Then he did an acid test and said something about the color it should turn into but I did not quite get it. Don't know if he used 10k acid or higher. Can someone explain, when testing 10k with acid, what the result should be? Thanks [IMG]http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/p580/baketa1/TENK/1_zps8d047jhd.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/p580/baketa1/TENK/6_zpsh1gcmglj.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
