<p>[QUOTE="KSW, post: 2899607, member: 8708"]I only ever file directly onto the piece of jewellery if it is total scrap or I’ve been given permission on here!. Other than that I always use a scratch stone and as Stracci says above, pick a hidden edge to rub on the stone. Nothing makes me crosser than a nice piece of jewellery destroyed by scratches and acid damage.</p><p>I’ve got a few bits that I’m pretty sure are gold but I’m not willing to dig deeper to see if it’s just plate so those remain a mystery unless I take them to a jeweller. I’m still nervous of jewellers though as some can be butchers![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
