Real or fake gold, how to identify?
How to Identify Fake Gold Jewelery: Many times there is confusion among people with fake or adulterated gold. Even after buying such an expensive gold, there is confusion in his mind that even after spending so much money, he does not know whether he is wearing real gold or not. Let’s know how real and fake gold can be identified with the help of some of these tips.
Hallmark mark
Real gold jewelery has BIS Hallmark or other certification marks such as 916 (22 carat), 750 (18 carat), or jeweler logo. Look at these signs with magnifying glass. The hallmark mark is a sign of gold purity.
Joint and edge
In fake gold, joints or edges can be uneven. Real gold jewelery contains fine finishing.
Magnet test
Take a strong magnet and bring gold jewelery to it. The real gold is non -magnetic and is not attracted to the magnet. If the jewelery is pulled towards the magnet, it may be a mixture of iron, nickel, or other metal.
Vinegar Test
Take some vinegar (white vinegar or apple vinegar) in a bowl. Dip the gold jewelery in it for 5-10 minutes. Vinegar has no effect on the gold and it remains the same. If the color of the jewelery changes (green, black, or spots fall), it can be fake or mixed metal.
Rub Test
Rub gold jewelery loudly on a clean, dried cloth. Then rub lightly on a ceramic tile (without glazed). The real gold leaves the golden line when rubbing and does not leave any mark on the fabric. Fake gold can leave black or green mark.
Bite Test
Cut gold jewelery lightly with teeth (do not put too much emphasis). Pure gold is soft and may have a mild mark. Fake gold is hard and there is no mark.
Nitric Acid Test
Do this test carefully at home. Pour a few drops of nitric acid on gold jewelery (on a hidden part). Real gold does not react with nitric acid. If you look green or brown, it can be fake or mixed metal.
