<p>[QUOTE="shamster, post: 9824712, member: 85821"]Btw if you don't mind discussing - do you think it is always necessary to test the authenticity of gold? Logically, 1. it's super heavy; 2. there are no examples made of other metals than high carat gold, if there's cheap substitutes there should be plenty; 3. it looks fine without any signs suggesting gold plated or vermeil, thus don't think it could be anything else. However, I'm always paranoid about buying fake gold as it happened to me before<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /> thus I can't stop myself testing it from time to time. Will you ever doubt the posibillity of it being something else than gold?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
