thanks for contacting. To test if the metal in your eye frames is made of solid gold, or gold plated - I would recommend you purchase a gold testing kit. You can then test any gold coloured metal item you are unsure about with these gold testing solutions and it even will test for Silver too.
The gold testing kit is supplied in a strong, wooden box, and contains all you need for testing your eye frames; the testing solutions, accessories and instructions. The instructions are very simple to understand.
It is one of the simplest and easy to use gold testing sets on the market and includes child-proof bottles too.
The Accessories: magnet, diamond-impregnated needle file, a sample of 'base' metal (copper).
There are three bottles in this testing set.
The first bottle of testing solution tells you if the metal is Not gold or 9ct or better than 9ct.
The second bottle tells you if the metal is 14ct, 18ct, 22ct or 24ct (and it's accurate enough to gauge 'in between' these readings).
The third bottle tests for silver (Sterling, 925 grade or 'continental' .800).
Each bottle contains enough fluid for 100 to 150 tests and has a shelf life of between one and two years (the date of manufacture is printed on each label). Each bottle is transparent so that you can see how much fluid remains.
Here is the URL address where you can purchase the gold testing kit.
