Silver Jewelry Test Kit Detect Plated Fake 999 Sterling Rings Coins Necklaces Bars Tester Scratch Stone

It works great. You just need to practice and figure it out. You need to have something that is silver and something that is plated or another metal so you can see the results. After that you will have no problem identifying real silver! I love being able to test all my findings since I am a jewelry maker and I buy huge lots of jewelry making supplies from people who are retiring. *** Silver Plated items do not test as real as some reviewers have mistakenly reported. ***Also, my first bottle was working perfectly fine down to the last drop 1.5 years after I purchased it. It does not go bad super fast. You should use a flashlight and magnifier to see if there is red after letting the drop of liquid sit for 30 seconds or so. You can see in my photos a real silver ear wire and a plated one. The plated one does not test as silver. There is simply not enough silver on plated things, since it is a tiny tiny tiny layer of silver. You are looking for a red color inside the dot of liquid. Non- silver streaks will be eaten away by the acid, but real silver streaks will have a reaction and turn red. Summary: Works great. Easy to use once you learn how to use it. Plated silver does not show up as real, but as fake. **Note: I don't try to distinguish between the types of silver (fine silver, 925, etc) I just want to know if it is real silver or not.

Worked great! Came with instructions but it was a little confusing at first but then I got the hang of it quickly! It was well packaged and arrived on time! I tested a silver pendant I got online that I wanted to know if it was real silver it was not! I'm glad I got this kit It helped a lot! Great quality and great price! Thank you so much! :)

Honestly it dose what I need it to do, it’s a little hard to red the results because the liquid is really dark and it’s a black stone. But it worked. I ended up putting a drop on the metal itself as well. That worked better. I do wish there was one bottle and one bottle of neutralizer. Because there’s no way I’m gonna go through two bottles before it expires.

The product worked for me. I recently started buying a bit of sterling silver for investment (well below spot). I found that one piece I bought that was marked 925 was not actually silver. Everything else was silver. The scratch plate doesn't really harm whatever you are testing. The colors are somewhat hard to see, but when you get a fake piece and see there is no color at all - just black - then it becomes really easy. As long as there is red, then your silver is real. Though the red from 999 to 925 was a little hard for me to make out the difference. Though I am guessing that will get easier with experience. This is a great way to reassure yourself. Because that fake piece I had passed both the magnet test and the bleach tarnish test. I had also filed into it a little and saw no difference in metal color. So this acid test was the only thing that queued me in that it was fake.

You get two bottles here. One was only half full and wet. The bottle leaked. With that said, the acid works. It is easy to see on the included black scratch pad when silver tests positive. I assume that the leaky bottle is a one off, but it is still part of my experience.

The packaging was OK but when I tested it, it did not work. I’m guessing it might be expired. I’m not sure what the problem is, but I tested it on my wedding ring that I know for a fact to silver and it didn’t work on that I tried it on my grandma‘s jewelry that I know is silver and it didn’t work on that. I don’t know why it doesn’t work? I’m gonna have to check the expiration on it and see if they sent me an expired one either way I called and got my money back. It doesn’t work.

Exactly what it claims to be . For price point I would highly suggest this . I was able to confirm if some coins I bought off eBay were silver or not . ( bought under spot as a roll of the dice ). I was able to test my silver I know is pure silver with the 3 coins from 3 different vendors . Only one was real lol . I got a really nice message from the seller after also . Not everyday someone goes out of there way to right personal thank yous, I’ll keep an eye on their products because of it

Very good
