<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 2051022, member: 36"]Just to be dumb, but ... have you scratch tested that thing for gold yet? Some South American gold marks aren't too far off. I'd test on the tongue part of the clasp. It looks like it ought to be rhodium plated silver but I've seen goofier stuff happen. Try the 18K acid on a scratch test; if it curdles up it's silver. If it stays put you might have something better. If it vanishes, it's probably plated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
