Help With Testing Your Gold
This information is intended as a guide to help with your testing. The photos are provided for illustrative purposes only. For the
clearest results, we recommend testing directly onto your gold. For the most accurate results when testing gold use the 9ct
solution first, then the 14-15ct solution, then the 18-24ct solution. Before using the solutions, always test with a magnet.
