The item the customer is referring to is a base metal disc that he brought to us to sell.
The item was not in wearable condition when we told him that we would take it to our shop to test.
His statement shows that he is familiar with gold testing procedures. It did not test as real using acid on the black test stone.
To further verify whether it was or was not a precious metal, we tested the piece with acid. It was a very thin plating over copper.
The base metal item had no dollar value whatsoever, nor did it have any value as jewelry. The customer did not have any sentimental attachment to it he was there to sell it.
His first question to us was What are you going to pay me for ruining my jewelry? He spoke with three of us , including the master goldsmith and his only question was - what were we going to pay him?
He wanted payment from us for an item that was worth nothing. We deal with our customers in good faith and we expect the same in return.
