<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 4493415, member: 36"]That could easily be silver. Also nickel. You can use 18k acid to find out. Scrape the bracelet on a testing stone and drop some 18k acid on the mark. If it's silver it'll go milky and "curdle". It's unmistakeable once you've seen it. Other metals will just sit there or dissolve. Italy and Mexico both made bracelets that way, so...no idea whodunnit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
