<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cfh, post: 10544515, member: 20095&quot;]I don’t have access to an xrf machine. I just use acid. I have found if you find a small sharp edge in a less noticeable spot and scratch a few lines it will tell if the item is plated. It does only a tiny bit of damage if you do it right. The acid on the last line will dissolve more than on your first line.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first picture I did three lines just to be safe, because I could not find a mark on the piece. It is 14k solid. [ATTACH=full]529773[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529774[/ATTACH] The second picture was from a piece that was marked plated. It only took two lines to start to wear through the plating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
