<p>[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 877667, member: 147"]I don’t use silver testing kits because it’s near impossible for me to see the subtle differences in the reds, especially on a dark stone. I test using 18k gold acid. The scraping disappears then reappears as silver-blue flakes. I always test a new piece along side a known piece of sterling. If the results are the same I know I have sterling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
