Quick tips on telling Fake Gold and Real Gold apart

1. 1. Discoloration- If discoloration is present in your gold; don’t count on its value being any good. One of the very first and easiest steps to take in testing for real gold is to check for discoloration.

2. 2. Magnetize-The use of any household magnet can also help test the properties of your jewelry. Hold up a magnet to your gold and note carefully the results. If your gold is sticking to the magnet, it is not real!

3. 3. Density- Check your gold for true gold density. When checking for density, remember that the density of gold is about 19.3 grams/mL which is MUCH higher than many other metals. Also remember that real gold is NOT LIGHT! Expect some weight on a real piece of gold.
