Hi Margaret here in New Zealand the newer jewelry at least one of the joining rings next to the clasp is not soldered due to safety reasons. So if the piece gets caught up on something it can free its self. Another tip I use to determining fake from real gold or silver is to wear it. Fake metal makes me itch like mad within 2 days of wearing it. Real gold or silver doesn't. Hope that's helpful.

Everyone that buys acid, you need to buy new acid every 6 months for accurate results

Yes. The get old

I’ve had many real gold necklaces where the jump ring isn’t gold and the rest is. The reason for that is because that is the part most likely to break so sometimes that piece has been replaced at some point. Just a tip. The jump ring is not a good place to go right to.

After seeing so many friends get duped with fake gold items after plucking down big bucks, I am so happy to settle for 'stainless steel' items. In gold color or silver. I get the 'bling' without the 'sting' to my wallet! And some of the pieces out there are just fabulous. Just saying...

I wonder what if wrong karat but still gold like a 10k chain marked 14k

hey fun fact if your golden chain or ring says gs don't think its fake it means gold shell and if u don't think its real just get a magnet and use it against your chain real gold isn't magnetic so if it sticks its fake

Gold is nonmagnetic. The only metals that are are iron nickel and basalt

Only if it’s 24 kt gold. 10kt and 14kt have nickel and tin along with copper it so it can attracted to magnet. . Gold tester is only tester which good to test. Like this lady found out in the video her fake chain didn’t attach to the magnet. But gold tester told the truth

another tip everyone: there is no gold seller that sells those type of chains the one she has with the little dots all over, dead giveaway as soon as i clicked on this vid. I'm not sure if another country does sell that style but in U.S There is no such thing, i know it can be a manufacturer that decides the style of the chain but in U.S I've never seen that

Very informative and interesting, thank you!

if its gold plated and you do the scrape test, couldnt it still test for gold on the acid test.. if you only scrape the surface lightly without going deep enough to touch the silver under the gold plate?

Due to jewelry possessing other metals it will tarnish gray especially 10 kt 41.7%.

a lot depends on what is mixed with it to bring it down to 14k. every goldsmith who makes gold has his own technology.

Where did you get your tester kit I don’t see it.

I got this fake gold chain just like the one you posted. I mean a split image of it. Only thing is when I cut into it it’s fake gold in the inside lol like it never changes, but it magnets like crazy.. what’s going on?! I just got to ask you. And even in seeing your video it didn’t even mark as silver l so what is it?!

my necklace hallmark shows ⭐172 AR. It weighs 5grams. How many carat of goal is it and what's the value ?

I didn't check for 10k because even if it were gold plated over silver, the silver content would've tested positive with the 18k. With it being both magnetic and not testing positive for silver, it wouldn't affect the price of the necklace to be plated over base metal.... Unless there is something I'm else missing or not considering??

In my country is 24k gold, so the colour helps to distinguish from costume jewellery. It’s more rose gold

Ever I see that embossed pattern on a “gold” chain I know it’s fake. Plus the 14 KT stamped on the end caps looks like somebody scratched it in.

@@TexasGalTreasures thank you for replying back . I have never bought gold online only in person. But I saw a bracelet I wanted that would match my ankle bracelet. And I am doing research and I came upon your videos. But I won't buy it since I wrote the seller a message about the stamping on the bracelet and it says turkey and I could read the other stamp on it and this is what she wrote me back. ("We sell only real gold jewelry. Pure gold is 24K 14K has 58.5% gold and 41.5% alloy...you can google everything Keep in mind that stamps mean strictly nothing nowadays. Anyone can stamp whatever he wants. When it comes to gold you can only trust the reviews and number of sales. Keep in mind that the bracelet is lightweight Have a nice day").

I test gold and silver with plain liquid makeup. 1. Rub some of the liquid makeup on your hand 2. Get the piece of jewelry you want tested and slide over your hand that has the liquid makeup 3. If a black line appears than it is real silver or gold

Micheal Anthony jewelry can be sterling silver 14k gold metal or gold plated if it says 14 k and you bring it in it’s not a scam

I am looking at this because I have a gold chain and kids at my school always say it’s fake and that gets me mad because it’s real

Buy it fool. Hahaha the pawnshops have these exact same kits

Ms. gal I have a chain stamped with 14k right but idk if it's white gold, sliver, or platnum since the chain is gray-ish. I say that becuz at certain angles its looks goldish and on the inside edges of the 14k it look golden as well. I've tried all the home remedies. I've put 2magnets next to it and it doesn't stick only thing that does stick is the end of where yu clip it on. 2nd. I put a good size drop of vinegar on one of the links and nothing happened its still the same color, hasn't lost its color or shine either. It's shines beautifully tbh 3rd. I've put it inside a cup of water to see if it floated, it didn't it went straight to the bottom. 4th. I scratched it on one of those scratch boards and it colored gold on it then put some vinegar on it to see if it would erase the scratches.. it did not... I repeated it 3times and all 3 scratches are still on there and with the same color. I tried wiping it off with the vinegar and that didn't work.. doesnt that means it is real ? Am asking for ur opinion bcuz i took it to a couple pawn shops, & 2 told me it was fake.. but they only looked at it and told me, they didn't actually scratch and put the chemicals on it??.. then another one did test it and told me it was 10k not 14k then out of nowhere the manager came and told me he didn't want it becuz it was fake the excuse was because it had a dark stain on it? And i even i proved to him by wipping it off and showing the chain had no discoloration when I cleaned it. He didnt even bother to see it bcuz HE WAS ATTENDING OTHER CUSTOMERS before he bumped in my business. Anyways i showed it to the other employee who first said it was real and all she said was im sorry and gave me that a look as in saying she agreed that he pulled a mest up move (Which really tickted me off).. so yeah all the test I've tried on it the chain has passed but I take it to try and sell it and get reject somehow??. Could it he that the chain really is fake? Or that the people checking it dnt know what they are doing ??

Gold plated is junk jewelry. Gold filled over Sterling is not junk, once the thin layer of gold wears off you still have Sterling silver! Also Gold filled is not as good as gold filled over sterling but it still has a thin layer of Gold. A lot of sterling silver chains you get from China, Hong Kong, any other places like that the only tiny piece of silver you get is that piece that says 925! And like the tiny stud part that goes in the ear those can be marked and the rest of the earring not be real! Now If It says Italy 925 9 times out of 10 you will be ok. I make jewelry and those stamps are easy to buy off eBay! Also Platinum is not worth more than gold is it's just harder to get that's why it cost more! I do not stamp my jewelry so I'm pretty sure there are more home jewelers that do not stamp their jewelry either. So It's a good Idea to test more parts of the piece of jewelry. I would invest in a metal purity tester kit! And even a diamond tester if you're into testing your jewelry before you sell it like Texas Gal here does!
