Classic Quality Of Sterling Silver
This sterling silver piece is of the same exceptional quality typical of many of the vintage designs. The metal is extremely thick & heavy so the piece won't bend from use without extreme pressure. The classic design details are beautiful & ornate while the sterling silver compliments like no other metal can.

When to replace your testing acid?
We often hear white noise about the shelf life of precious metals testing acid. Many are leery of purchasing older acid & it's hard to know when it's bad or if it's bad. Well I discovered how to tell. It was really no big deal. I had an old bottle of silver testing acid that was no longer confirming silver that I knew was genuine 925. So if you aren't sure whether your acid is up to snuff, just test a genuine piece of silver along side a piece of unknown genuineness & you'll have your answer. So after purchasing a new bottle of acid on eBay I was delighted to find that all of the silver items I recently picked up at yard sales was actually genuine 925 sterling.
I had two of these in a row that gave up the ghost. The first one popped when I plugged it in after being carefully used for 5 months. The second charger never worked in the first place. It was a replacement of the first charger that quit. Now I have the larger green one with all the cooling fins. We'll see how long this one lasts.
