<p>[QUOTE="ezeepass, post: 1596282, member: 12711"]I purchased this pendant two months at a thrift store. It came with a 24” gold filled chain. I took it home and put it away because I thought it was a nice costume piece because it had no markings or stamps. Today I came across it and decided I want to test it to see if it was real gold with my new kit. I tested it with 18k first and it disappeared immediately and then with the 14k and it stayed. I let it sit for 10 minutes and it was still there. I tested a few more times rubbing the same area on the tile just to be sure it was real, but dark stops are throwing me off and I don’t know if the stones are onyx, jet or something else. The entire piece seems handmade. What do you think and so sorry for the long read, and thank you!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]231866[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]231867[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]231868[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]231869[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
