Here is my feeble attempt at chemistry to check the metallic content of that silver -looking heart pendant that I found this morning

The chemical interaction result

[attachment 100484 Picture036.jpg] the pendant

From what I have read, the small percentage of copper in sterling silver, when mixed with ammonia will cause the ammonia to turn blue

Here is what happened over the last two hours after I placed the ? silver pendant in ammonia..

Does anyone know if this is a bona fide test for sterling?

If it is, then I have a silver pendant....that would be just nice!

thanks for any help anyone can give me on this question
