<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2618525, member: 71510&quot;]More found gold!&nbsp; Sometimes it&#039;s about reading through the details and looking for the things that don&#039;t make sense.&nbsp; I bought the lot for $35 plus 12% auction fee.&nbsp; $39.20 total.</p><p><br /></p><p>Everyone was focused on the big pendant and jade earrings, which I haven&#039;t even gotten to evaluating yet!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://new.liveauctioneers.com/item/50151602_marble-necklace-silver-pin-earrings-jade-pendants" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://new.liveauctioneers.com/item/50151602_marble-necklace-silver-pin-earrings-jade-pendants" rel="nofollow">https://new.liveauctioneers.com/item/50151602_marble-necklace-silver-pin-earrings-jade-pendants</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you read the details in this auction lot - it says <b>&quot;silver 750 earring&quot;</b> and everyone assumed that the auction house had done their homework on everything.&nbsp; Well it occurred to me that most silver is .925 and not .750 although there is some.&nbsp; But the thing is - everyone assumed the earrings were low grade silver and didn&#039;t bother to check!&nbsp; I also know that .750 is also a gold hallmark for 18k.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So I popped my diamond tester onto a couple of the diamonds and it came back positive.&nbsp; I do know they rarely put diamonds into silver - and so I confirmed that this was almost positively &quot;white gold&quot; and not silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got the lot home, tested the metal of the earrings and the diamonds, and I was right.&nbsp; All diamonds on 18k solid white gold.&nbsp; 6.3 grams of 18k white gold - solid gold and diamond earrings!</p><p><br /></p><p>SCORE!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]574118[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]574119[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
