FIND HIDDEN GOLD !!! Much gold is thrown away as costume jewelry when it really is under 10k gold. Much white gold is actually platinum. Much 14k gold is actually 18k Most gold and other precious metal is identified by its resistance to nitric acid. This simple test is great for identifying yellow gold. However, acid cannot differ white platinum from many other white metals such as stainless steel. The acid test also misses 8-9k Irish gold, the alloy being too low in gold to resist the acid. And, 22k Indian gold is usually sold at 18k prices since most acid test kits do not contain 22k acid. The more expensive electronic testers also miss white gold. They do work on modern yellow gold alloys. They do not work on many antique yellow golds. FIND HIDDEN GOLD ON EBAY: Look for antique white gold, especially 18k. Some of it will be more expensive platinum. Look for old gold originating in China, India, and the Far East. Some of it will be 22k and higher FIND HIDDEN GOLD IN FLEA MARKETS AND ESTATE SALES: The pen allows very rapid testing of costume jewelry. Look for a brown color, indicating 10k or 14k gold. Very little gold is 10k or 14k plated. Any gold that tests with a red color is probably plated. A lot of 10k gold is bonded, meaning solid 10k gold is welded over brass. It has some value and is usually marked as 1/20 gold. There is no bargain in hallmarked jewelry. It is either as marked or less. |
-PEN INSTRUCTIONS- |
1. HOLD PEN WIRE UNDER TEST METAL. Plated gold on costume jewelry is a problem with all metal testers. Acid and Mizar type testers require filing. Mizar then further requires lacquering around the unfiled test area before dipping in its electrolyte. With the pen, rub the same test spot 5-10 times. Thinly plated gold shows little, if any color. Thickly plated gold will crack, which you can see and feel with your fingernail. Good gold will not crack. A lot of white gold for diamond rings is now rhodium plated to avoid nickel allergies. Rhodium plate, usually thin, must be removed as above to test the gold beneath. Refill Kit instructions: Batteries: Pry off red end cap. Lift contact wire off top battery. Shake out 2 batteries. Check for clean contact surface. Replace batteries, pointed end down. Place contact wire over top battery. Press end cap into barrel. Pen point: Unwind wire on pen point. Pull out point. Insert new point partly into barrel. Rewind wire around point. Push point fully into barrel. Ink: Drop ink on pen point till no more is absorbed. |
INK COLOR ON YELLOW GOLD METAL: |
|
Hold wire to metal surface and rub metal on stone. A blue black color appears only with gold. This color verifies that the metal surface contains gold. Useful in simply testing large volumes of costume jewelry mixed with solid gold jewelry, without exposure to hazardous chemicals. To test for plating, draw several lines with the metal on the stone. Lines made from plated metal will weaken and disappear as gold plate is rubbed off. Gold bonded metals must first be filed. The value in this tester is that the user can simply, quickly, inexpensively, and safely identify gold. Why waste time and expensive test chemicals on costume jewelry? Clear stone surface by scraping off old markings. Caution: Contains a lithium battery. Dispose responsibly. |
See PEN GOLD TESTER for color testing gold karat and also color testing silver, platinum, and palladium. |
