[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 614515, member: 2844"]Welcome Jessica. We definitely need more photos, preferably not blurry. Try photographing it in natural light against a white background. You will have more reflection of the light so the exposure won't be too long. And please don't hold it in your hand, just put it down, so you will have one less shaking hand to deal with.;) Italian goldmarked jewellery can be gold or plated. The marks you mention don't mean this necklace is not gold. Acid testing is best done by rubbing the gold on a testing stone and putting the acid on the line on the stone. Never put acid directly on the item you want to test. If you doubt that it is gold and don't want to use acid, you can always take it to a jeweler.[/QUOTE]
