First Gold Necklace

[Tony in FL]

I was very psyched to find my first gold necklace yesterday - 14K and about 20 inches in length. Also found an older looking silver ring with green stone.



HH!

WoW, nice chain indeed.... Just curious though, shouldnt a gold chain of that size weigh a lot more than 20 gms?

I was actually expecting it to weigh less than 20 grams but this was my first gold necklace find so I did not have much to draw upon.

After I read your message I got a bit worried so I tested one of the middle links in the chain with an acid scratch test. I am happy to say the scratches survived the 10K and 14K acids but dissolved on the 18K acid thereby lending support for the 14K markings.

AWESOME!!!! WTG!!
