<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 4387804, member: 8708&quot;]I buy job lots of jewellery and so often I find lovely items ruined by direct acid testing, destructive filing or hot pin tests. The person testing didn’t mind if it got damaged they just wanted to know if it was gold or silver. They then put it in a job lot and maybe I buy it because I am looking for something other than precious metals (and I’m cheap <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). It makes me sad that something with history or craftsmanship, or is just pretty has been ruined simply because we have different priorities. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. </p><p>Sorry, I didn’t mean to get on my soap box, just trying to explain why.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
