The mark was pretty faint after 2-3 minutes with 14ct acid. Tbh though the lady had a huge box of jewellery and she said I could have the whole lot plus all that was on her table for £25.

This is the costume modern stuff in my out box! [ATTACH=full]340977[/ATTACH] This is one bag of the nicer necklaces or beads from the box. [ATTACH=full]340978[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
