the big square ring is probably 800 silver with a gold wash that faded off. It does look like an old world middle eastern piece. The stones are mostly sapphires. That is the real value of that ring!!!

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

It may be 800 silver… I will check for that. Thanks so much for the input. Cheers!

@EFaulkner17 Год назад

Thanks for showcasing the metal testing processes - Even a trained eye needs to do their due diligence. 🌞

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Agreed. Thanks for watching!!!

@rosariolanteri3608 Год назад

Hi Sandra. Very pretty ring. It looks like sterling silver but It may be alpaca. Anyway those are semiprecious stones which are used in gold but also in silver or alpaca.

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Thanks for that, it does look like alpaca... Cheers!

@tinktink7736 Год назад

Loved the video, surprising results on that big ring... which is amazing!

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

I know! It was unexpected! Thanks for watching Tink!

@fabulousfinds1045 Год назад

EXCELLENT info! Finally someone does it 100% easy to understand 😊

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Glad you think so! Thanks a million. Cheers!

@anadelgado8661 Год назад

Hello, learned a few things with your video. Thank you so much for sharing your finds 💞🙏🏽

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Thanks for watching!

@Rachelakalilyworks Год назад

Omg! The square ring with pinks and purples! ❤❤❤

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

It's a good one! Thanks so much for watching. Cheers.

@vruth23 Год назад

That ring is AMAZING, and probably really old!

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Right? I love it. ❤️ thank you.

@maritzagonzalez8382 Год назад

Thanks you’re amazing, the way you share your acknowledgment. Thanks ❤

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

I appreciate that! Thank you. xo

@lindacook9300 Год назад

Fun stuff and loving the gold ring.

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Thanks so much!!

@lisacrandall409 Год назад

Great video Sandra! It made me realise that some of the 'uncertain' results I get with the 18k acid is due to not scratching enough metal onto the stone. I always do both tests (18k and silver acids) on each end of a longer scratch, just so I can feel confident in the result.

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

I'm glad I'm not the only one with unclear results that need to be rechecked sometimes. I also think my stone is getting old and I can't get off some of the old remnants of acid and stuff... Might be messing with the readings somewhat. Thank you and happy jewelry buying!!

@kathyschoonveld9173 Год назад

This was so helpful. Thank you!

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for coming.

@landonducharme7657 Год назад

Hi! I love the blue heart and bow necklace,beautiful!

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

I love it too! xo

@landonducharme7657 Год назад

Hi! I forgot to thank you for the very informative video! Was great to learn from one of the best, on line! Actually you are the best to me! I was also quessing as well to see if i was right! Maybe do a gold testing in the future but,im sure you already thought of that! Take care kiddo and a hug for your mom!

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

@@landonducharme7657 THANKS!!!

@jewelrescue Год назад

Thanks for sharing your method and that ring is awesome!! I’m about to buy acids for my ever growing pile of things I’m not quite sure about 🙈

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Go for it! Thanks for watching!

@RoamingTime Год назад

Thank you for showing the silver method I couldn't figure it out when I used it so I just gave up and used the gold, but I have extra silver acid left.

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

The silver solution may turn different shade of red depending on the purity of the silver. Your kit may have come with a key, or maybe you can find one online. THANKS for watching!!

@andreaedwards1968 Год назад

I never knew that you could use the 18k acid to test for sterling silver. I thought it was only for gold. Thanks for sharing that. Great video too BTW. 👍🏼

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

I hope it's helpful. Thanks for watching.

@ccya157 Год назад

😊🥰

@diannacashion2047 Год назад

I own a necklace that looks like that ring with the real stones….but it’s not silver or gold….I don’t own a gem tester, but I suspected the stones are real in my necklace. Very interesting…….

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Wow that's very cool!!!! Thanks for watching!!! xoxoxo

@podrosie5059 Год назад

I've been doing a lot of testing with items marked 925 and they are not. I wish they weren't allowed to import jewelry that is marked that is not 925 or 14K for that matter. I got a pair of 14K earrings from Thailand yesterday that are not 14K. Glad I didn't pay much for them at a yard sale. Thanks for the video!

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Sorry to hear that. I think there are strict rules about marking pieces incorrectly to deceive consumers, but they are hard to catch. Ugh. THANKS for watching.

@samanthasimental3788 Год назад

How do you test for platinum? Is there a possibility that big ring is platinum? Thanks for sharing

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

I have acid for platinum, but that ring doesn’t look like any platinum I’ve ever seen. I will check though… thanks for the thought! Hugs.

@laurarose6829 Год назад

What are the other stones on the amber piece? Is it still available? I checked your eBay and didn’t see it

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Hi Laura, that big one that's one the right side of the picture? Please email me at iamthefunkypickle at gmail, okay? Thanks for watching!

@katrienblomme4828 Год назад

Nice video again!! The expensive bracelets that your mum bought and are marked ; could they possibly be rhodium plated sterling? I never tested a rhodium plating so I don t know how that reacts but there might be silver underneath. See you in the next video

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Possibly…. Good point! Thanks for your input. Cheers

@landonducharme7657 Год назад

Hi! I dont think you have enough jewelry to test! Lol. Whats that dagger thing ? First piece?

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

I actually tested every single bit of it after I turned off the camera! The first piece is a sterling silver nail file… just used as an example…

@katarinapeteraj6484 Год назад

Hello, some old pieces are only 6 k gold, could be the case.😃

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Interesting. I may have had that before? It was a Russian brooch…. That a good thought! Thanks for your input!

@jjdjj5392 Год назад

I tried testing a gold piece...i did 22k acid, 18k acid, 14k acid and 10k acid. It was not 22k, but all the others were positive. So which carat would it be? 18?, 14? or 10k?

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

The carat is as high as the highest acid it can withstand. So your piece would be 18k. I hope that makes sense! Thanks for watching!

@rosavidaurri1757 Год назад

Did you sale butterfly pendant

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

I don't think so. Reach out to me at iamthefunkypickle @ gmail.com !

@addicted367 Год назад

Do you ever purchase jewelry from whatnot?

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

I have not, do you recommend it? Thanks for watching.

@strawberryseeds Год назад

What it there’s black mixed in with red while I swipe off the silver testing acid??

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

I’m wondering if it’s dirt? Maybe try wiping the piece with a slightly damp cloth and try it again. Thanks for watching!

@strawberryseeds Год назад

@@TheFunkyPickleThrifter definitely could be thank you for the advice 🥰

@lisacrandall409 Год назад

Maliza I have also found that after a little while, the yellow silver testing acid turns grey on the cotton swab, so maybe that is what you are seeing? The red part stays red however.

@strawberryseeds Год назад

@@lisacrandall409 not sure. Just thought that if there was a bit of black with the red it meant it wasn’t real but I did the 18k acid test on the silver and it all turned blue.

@jjdjj5392 Год назад

What would rose gold test at?

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

I don’t know. I would assume it would test like any other gold. It is rose because another metal (usually) copper was added to it. Thanks for watching!

@veroniquehourany7660 Год назад

Your nine srones ring might come from india , they would use real stones , semiprecious unusual kinds.

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

That is good to know. Thanks for that. Cheers.

@landonducharme7657 Год назад

Are you playing that piano music?

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

I am not. Thanks for watching!!!

@lindaclancy981 Год назад

🦋Hello to you and your 🌹Mother. I am wondering how can I tell if amber is real or not? ¿ When you have some free time, maybe you could get back to me with some of your expert information & advice, I would definitely appreciate you doing that for me.....⚘️Thank you in Advance .....Linda Clancy

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Hey Linda! I check with a small black light flashlight from Amazon - I think they are less than $10. If it fluoresces, it is likely real. Cheers!!!

@PerfectlyIimperfect1 Год назад

A lot of pieces made in 3rd world countries, are made with metals and synthetic corundum that are made to look “antique”. Also, I’m not sure if you are aware, but the tester you are using doesn't make the distinction between natural or lab-grown stones. I have a jeweler test the stones if you’re looking for a definitive answer.

@TheFunkyPickleThrifter Год назад

Hi Voice, it is certainly possible that is a Kuchi ring and one I hadn't considered. About the tester not being able to distinguish, that I DO know. I have a few things to bring to the jeweler, and that's one of them. I will do an update "saw the jeweler" type video after I get it checked. Thanks for your input and thanks for watching. Have a good one!
