Always try to find a hidden part of the jewellery you want to test, the back or something. Never put the liquid directly onto the metal.</p><p>The sets come with one bottle for silver, the liquid reacts in a different colour to every different fineness of silver. For gold there are different bottles for different carats/karats. There is one for platinum.</p><p>Remember, these liquids are acid. The platinum one in particular can really sting if it touches your bare skin.</p><p>For gemstones I use a diamond tester, they usually also test other stones. You need one with different lights for the different hardnesses. In the ad you will see green to red lights. Mine also makes sounds. They come with a chart, and instructions of course.</p><p>These are the lights I mean:</p><p><img src="https://s17-us2.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcRQe7j7W6DhjOeLgLAaONNonsJGN2Sn_LY3E263qaGTQla6NUy_&amp;sp=1f6e168479585c40173f9972ce4861ab&amp;anticache=808006" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
