[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9569562, member: 2844"]No files please.:stop::nailbiting: Test kits usually come with a testing stone, which you should use to avoid damage. Just rub the piece on the stone until it leaves a stripe. You place a drop of the testing liquid on the stripe. Filing lets you know if it is gold all the way through the file mark, or just a thin layer. But it damages the piece, which means you are left with the melt value only because no one will buy it. If you are uncertain about the result, take it to a jeweller to have it tested. Around here jewellers do it for free.[/QUOTE]
