<p>[QUOTE="Hinarushi, post: 9835234, member: 87032"]I have recognized real gold based from colour and construcion from photos, for example, I bought a 9ct gold chain which when it arrived home, I was pleasantly surprised that it had a 9ct mark on the clasp. I believe it is possible to nail some gold discoveries by judging photos only, although this is of course a gamble and you might end with rolled gold or thickly plated pieces. I found an engraved locket and an engraved brooch which look like 9ct gold but to be sure, I would have to take them to the jeweller to test... I think they are tired of doing this for the third time haha.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
