[QUOTE="Barn Owl, post: 851421, member: 4864"]Testing kit came early. I haven't used a silver testing kit in a long time, so I'm a bit confused by the test results. I scratched each piece on the testing block, leaving a long, thick mark, and applied the red-tinted silver testing liquid to the streak. I tested the Native American squash blossom style necklace I purchased a while back-- turned dark red, same color as a British sterling thimble I tested. Chinese silver and coral bracelet - turned red, but not quite as dark as the NA necklace Tested an Arabic bracelet (picture of bracelet and hallmark below), which turned lighter red. [ATTACH=full]196259[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]196260[/ATTACH] Then...the lion bracelet. It turned a very dark red; at first I was worried that the streak had disappeared, but after thirty seconds, I could still see it past the dark red. Now, I'm not sure what it all means. :([/QUOTE]
