Do make sure you're know they're gold. I bought a "9k" necklace from ebay
recently which only had markings on the lobster clasp. These clasps can be
picked up for a few pounds from the www. There were no other markings on
the chain itself.

I had a silver charm bracelet in the shop last week. Someone had bought it
on ebay as 'silver'.

The clasps were, as you say, marked.

When I heated it up to solder on a charm the damn thing started leaking soft
solder all over the place, and afterwards it wouldn't clean up in the pickle
or take a polish.

A seriously ****ed off customer...
