How to Test Gold Jewelry

Jewelers make an impression in each gold piece of jewelry designed and crafted from genuine molten gold bullion. On necklaces and bracelets, this stamp is on, or near, the clasp. Rings have a stamp somewhere on the inside surface. A jeweler’s loupe is sometimes required to see the tiny stamp placed on fine gold jewelry. The jewelry stamp will include the karat, also called the purity, of the piece, such as 14K or 24K. Close to this stamp is the manufacturer’s stamp, which further clarifies genuine gold jewelry.

You might have an older piece of jewelry that does not have a jewelry mark.

which could make you wonder if the piece is counterfeit. You will want to conduct additional tests on the piece.

  • The Acid Test

    All precious metals can be tested through the use of an acid test that will only harm fake materials.

  • The Magnet Test

    Genuine gold will not attract a magnet. The magnetic test is the most convenient and portable test for genuine gold, since the magnet can be carried around in your pocket.

  • Using the Float Test

    A cup of water is all you need for another important test.

  • Skin Test

    Skin discoloration from wearing fake gold jewelry is not a myth. For this test, simply hold the gold in your hand for a few minutes. Perspiration on the skin creates a chemical reaction with the gold.
