Anything that tarnishes or rusts (silver, iron) will break down much, MUCH faster than something that doesn't (gold).
it breaks down the silver causing it to turn black. it also causes it to become very brittle.
Silver nitrate is more stable.
Most gold over metal (sterling etc.) is microplated. The only way to know the thickness or content would be to have it read by a jeweler that has a machine that breaks down what ores are used in the piece. This would also give you the percentage of each.
1) sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver 2) Silver is about $27 per ounce 3) there are 31.1 grams in an ounce Doing the math means it is about $.80 per gram That does not mean anyone will sell an item for that as jewelry costs are in addition to the metal price. And it does not mean an individual can sell it for that much as many dealers buy USED items to melt down and refine. Thus new silver jewelry sells for $1.00-$5.00 per gram and you can sell used silver jewelry for $.50-$.70 per gram
Silver chloride is light sensitive. Light photons break the salt down into silver metal and chlorine gas. Using a dark bottle protects the salt from the light that would degrade the sample.

Desert Rose Trading is a sterling silver jewelry manufacturer and designer. They offer contemporary Southwest Designs made out of "green" sterling silver. Green sterling silver is 100% recycled silver, which means that no mining went into the manufacturing of their silver (the silver was reclaimed from various sources and then made into silver sheet, that was then created into their beautiful jewelry). Desert Rose Trading designs jewelry using "rough" stone material. "Rough", means that, they purchase their ornamental gemstones direct from the miners who mined the material. Their design team sits down and discusses what the best design use is for the material. They let the rough rock tell them what to design it into. Many of their designs are shaped around the pattern that is present in the stone. They feel that they are lucky to have the job that they have - they spend their days creating spectacular works of art made out of "nature's beauty".
they melt it down. so they give you how much it is worth in ounces. the price of gold and silver is always changing. so google it before you decide to take it so they dont scam you
The S refers to sterling silver, and the 115 refers to the ring being 11.5% sterling. The triangle and TD are very likely a maker's mark.
