<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 3461891, member: 10944"]Surely you would want to test them if you owned them. More just curious to hear what people’s actual experience if any was with this type of jewelry. One of the pieces I mentioned was purportedly tested at 14k. I don’t typically trust everyone’s acid tests since it’s pretty easy to get a false positive with GF or plating. Interesting to know your last piece tested out at 10k Cheryl. The most important piece of info for me is that it was supposed to denote actual “solid” gold of one karat or another. If I do run into another piece in the future and don’t have the ability to test it before buying I can make an educated gamble or not knowing there’s a moderate chance it’s at least low karat gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
