Testing silver with acid

We take the impressions of the sea coral, brain coral, urchins is my favorite, and we cast out one in wax, and we use lost wax. We take our sea glass, and we wrap it in sterling silver for a gypsy-style setting. So, that’s my favorite thing to do. Well, I was, a friend of mine needed to pay his rent, and he said, hey, Marjorie, you know, can I trade you a piece of silver for part of the money? So, he, I traded him for this, it’s supposed to be four ounces of triple nine fine silver, and it’s actually a trillion-dollar note.

Yeah, it’s trillion dollars. Trillion dollars. Then it’s done. It actually will be at some point in time, right? Hyperinflation, right? So, I was like, I mean, I trust my friend, and I looked online, and it looked legit, but Marjorie’s going to show us how she tasks for triple nine fine silver. So, we have that. I look at the edges first, and I want to see where I’m going to do it. So, this is the stone that we use, and what I’m going to do is press down hard, make a good mark on it.

When you do a jewelry, you want to be careful that you don’t damage your jewelry and everything else. So, we’re talking about edges, and then I have the solution to test for sterling silver. So, it shouldn’t disappear, but this is nine nine nine. So, we’re going to put a drop on here, and then basically count to 10 with me. One thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, one thousand four, one thousand five, one thousand six, one thousand seven, one thousand eight, one thousand nine, one thousand ten. I could still see it.

Let me get you some light here. I could still see the mark along with the other marks. It’s not disappearing. So, basically, I’m just like, yep, you’ve got some nine nine nine here. Wow. So, if it hadn’t been good silver, that is basically an acid that would dissolve it. Yes. So, here, I’m going to take my sterling silver ring, and let’s just say somebody said, oh, this is 14 karat gold, white gold. Okay. So, now I’m going to get 14 karat acid test. It’s a different acid. So, here’s my silver mark right here.

Okay. And then I’m going to take this 14 karat, because they told me it was white gold, right? So, now, her sterling silver, and the lines are just basically really non-existent on that. Suppose it. So, you see, there’s different acids. You have acid for sterling silver. You have acid for the 14, 10, 18, and 22 karat. It’s a pretty simple test. Now, you’re really only able to test the surface of it, but, yeah, that’s why you rub it really hard. So, like, on my table, I have vermé. Vermé has, you’re fine.

Vermé has it to where, excuse me, vermé is a certain amount of micron of gold on top of sterling silver. So, this is where people can really take a person and not under, not a person who is unaware of what they have. That’s about it. So, you got to just be careful when you test. Yeah. Well, Marty, thank you so much. How can people reach you to pick up some of this beautiful story? So, my website is enchantmentbymati.com. My email is enchantmentbymati at gmail.com. And Mari is spelled M-A-R-I. So, I’m not sure if you can get that one.

And I’ll ask Marjorie to do a screenshot of my banner up there. So, because it has the QR code for my website, and it has everything in there. And my phone number. I really recommend that if there’s a silversmith in your community, somebody makes jewelry or something like that, you get to know them because it’s real money. All right, this is Marjorie. I’ll talk to you later. [tr:trw].
