<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 174345, member: 36"]They have to test it, to determine gold content. Victorian pieces were often made of rather heavy gold-filled. Just don't let them file test it; file testing digs a hole in the piece. That's fine if it's modern mass-production and bound for the scrap pile. It's not so good for a true antique.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
