TESTING FOR GOLD



1. Scratch the piece to be tested over the surface of a

testing stone —press firmly, leaving a visible deposit,

preferably a line 1'' long.



2. Add a drop of the 10K solution to the scratched area.

If the solution dissolves the scratch on the stone, the

object is less than 10K gold or not gold at all. If the

solution leaves the scratch intact, the object is 10K

gold or greater than 10K gold.



3. Repeat the scratching and testing with the 14K

solution. If the solution dissolves the scratch on the

stone, the object is less than 14K gold (if the scratch

dissolves slowly and leaves rusty color particles, it is

probably 12K gold). If the solution leaves the scratch

intact, the object is 14K gold or greater than 14K.

CAUTION: Many objects are marked 14K, but were

fabricated prior to 1982 when it was legal to mark

items 14K, but in reality, the gold was 13.5K. When

testing 13.5K gold, the 14K solution will not dissolve

the scratch, but it will make the scratch lose its

brightness, making it turn a yellow-rusty color.



4. Repeat the scratching and testing with the 18K and

22K solutions (if available) to determine the karat of

the object. When the solution dissolves the scratch

slowly and leaves rusty color particles, the tested

piece is probably two karats lower than the solution

being used. For accurate testing, we recommend that

the user becomes familiar with comparative testing

using standard gold testing needles.

Note: Heavyweight items such as chains and coins may

be plated. Make a deep notch in the piece and perform

testing on the metal inside.



Testing for Platinum



Rub the article on the test stone and apply a drop of

platinum solution. A platinum mark will remain the

same white color with no reaction.



Testing for Silver



1. Scratch the piece to be tested over the surface of a

testing stone —press firmly, leaving a large, thick

visible deposit, preferably a line 1" long.



2. Add a drop of the RED silver solution to the scratched

area. The color reaction of the solution with the metal

scratch will be as follows (take into consideration that

the background of a testing stone is black):

Fine Silver (.999) = Bright Red

.925 Silver = Dark Red

Silver 800 = Brown

Silver 500 = Green

CAUTION

Use extreme care in handling gold and silver testing solutions, for they are, corrosive acids. In case of skin contact, flush with large amounts of

water. Then treat the affected areas with sodium bicarbonate or baking soda. If swallowed, contact a physician or hospital at once. In the case of spills, treat with water and then sodium bicarbonate or baking soda.
