a question for those of you who have tested gold:
i have a chain here (jewelry box find, lol) and it's passed both the 10K and the 14K acid test, but failed the 18K test.
just wondering how does brass stand up to the acid, does it totally dissolve and fail even with the weakest (10K) acid test?
i also soaked on end of this chain in vinegar overnight and no "green" showed up on it.
i always thought this chain was brass, but could i indeed have 23 grams of 14K here..???
