GTE Precious Metal Jewelry Testing Kit Gold Silver Platinum Test Acids Wooden Box 30X Eye Magnifier 10K 14K 18K 24K Needle File Fabric Acid

The testing kit I brought for precious metal is extremely good , it just the job.

Great purchase. Was quoted £200 to buy a load of gold from me off one of those we buy gold shops, they told me the gold was only 9ct and some of the items wasn't solid gold. Tested my gold and turns out many items were 18ct and what he said were gold plated were actually solid 9ct and hallmarked. Total worth of my gold for scrap value is £750 and with out this kit I wouldn't of known better. I also bought some scales from amazon as well. So if you buy this kit then get your self's some scales separately. I can highly recommend. Top tip to clean the stone just use a drop of the 18ct solution it wipes out all the 9ct marks and makes the 18ct less visible.

The good: The stone and gold solutions are good and fit for purpose, I’ve tested 9,14,18 and 22ct gold and all results were as expected on the hallmarked pieces The bad Minus one star because the silver testing doesn’t work at all, all the results come out as yellow. Initially I thought because the items I had were fake but then I tested my Royal mint coins and those turned out yellow rather than red. Will need to buy a separate solution that actually works.

Arrived in good time. Handy all in one kit

If you want to test gold silver etc correctly then you need this kit, if you can't afford 20 grand for an xraygun

All you need is in the box good bit of kit

I used to work in pawnbroking years ago so done a lot of testing on gold. I tested silver and one min it’s silver, the next it’s not. Tested 3 9ct rings that are hallmarked with assay office and this kit is saying it’s not gold. When I applied the acid it disappeared. One of the ring I purchased from a pawnbrokers which they test before they take in and this ring has a cluster of diamonds. I will be returning this as it’s not accurate. Also when I got this delivered they left it on my door step, this contains acid which is classed as dangerous goods which should have been handed to me and not left on door step! I

ok

Tested both gold and silver and it works. When testing silver it was hard for me to clearly see if the drops turned red when applied to silver and when applied to non silver material- in other words I really couldn't tell the difference. The way to clearly see the results is to fold a paper towel and wipe up the drop you placed on the silver test - if its real silver there will be a red spot surrounded by yellow and the paper towel. If its not silver there will only be yellow on the paper towel. The stone that comes with the kit is very small - buy a larger one, cheap on Amazon.

Beginner or not it’s a must have
