Real vs. Fake Gold: How to Spot the Difference and Protect Your Investment

Gold jewelry carries both financial worth and deep sentimental value for many individuals. Whether it’s a cherished family heirloom or a new acquisition, verifying its authenticity is vital. With counterfeit items becoming increasingly common, it’s important to know how to confirm the genuineness of your gold.

Here are some trusted methods to help you identify authentic gold jewelry:

• Inspect for Hallmarks

  • Genuine gold jewelry typically features hallmarks or stamps that signify its purity. These markings often include numbers such as 999, 916, or 750, which denote the gold's level of purity. These markings are applied when the gold jewelry is sent to an independent certification body for evaluation and verification.

• Perform the Magnet Test

  • Pure gold is non-magnetic. Pass a strong magnet over the jewelry. If it’s attracted, the piece contains other metals.

  
  

• Test with an Electronic Gold Tester
