[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 9763210, member: 147"]If it were me I would test it, it looks like it should be silver. Silver can take on a warm cast when it tarnishes or sometimes has a gold wash. However, I can't remember ever coming across a silver and marcasite piece with a gold wash, but I could be wrong. Have it checked. Give it a polish with foaming silver polish using a very soft toothbrush, you may be pleasantly surprised :)[/QUOTE]
