<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 9571321, member: 5398"]Thank you, [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER].

Unfortunately the seller's semi-closeup photo was blurry and the listing only described it as antique/estate platinum.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I sent a message to the seller with a photo of my necklace with the signed bar link asking if the seller could tell me if his/her sold necklace had similar marks. The seller is a jewelry consignment company in Miami with 60,000 100% positive feedback, so they're probably too busy to respond, but thought I'd try anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I don't hear anything further, I'll try testing the necklace again next week when I have a new bottle of platinum testing acid.
