It's disgusting they get you in the purity rate like that..marked as 750 and it's really,70% or (insert whatever false amount)..😤.

Yes! Exactly right, we see people get way more "inventive" these days to steal money from other people and this is just one more way, but I'm sure they (who are stealing) have done this for generations and thousands of years, it's just now we have the "know how" and the tools to know more.

So if something isn't 24 k gold the part that isnt gold could be magnetic and on the other hand the whole thing could be brass which is also not magnetic. Brass is also very resistant to corrosion so tooth paste or vinegar wont phase it.

Excellent video what kind of inclusion would make it magnet ? Or is it plated ?
@tristanwong528Ай бұрын
Awesome video. I like how you mentioned Chinese 24kt 999 gold. Lots of ignorant people think just because the gold is so shiny and yellow that it is fake. They’ve just never seen pure gold refined like that
@ThriftingWealthАй бұрын
Hi, yes that is correct. Most people in NA are going for the 14k some will be good for 18k and very few will have 20k+, based on what I have seen most printed from Asia and China will go for a minimum of 18k+ but best will be considered as 20k+ and 22k+ so yeah.

Curious, why did some of it not stick to a magnet, but still was fake ??
@ThriftingWealth Жыл бұрын
Gold is not magnetic 🧲 so it would not stick to the magnet, but the ring is marked as gold so therefore it's a fake, don't you agree?

I bought one of these off a non English girl at a petrol station. She wanted a £10 for petrol. This was 10 years ago or more, when the buy your gold envelopes where coming through the post. So I didn’t have £10. But feeling sorry for her I offered £5 which I kept in back of phone for emergency. It was like yours but bigger and heavier, can’t remember exact weight but if real would be worth £300 I later discovered. Gave it to wife to take to stall in town that buys gold. Verdict - fake. So a little jewellers had just opened out of town, so for a laugh I took it on Saturday. Saw the wife. She weighed it and offered me £150. But didn’t have any money at the time, could I come back when her husband was there. So the next Saturday I went in, very nervous, bloke weighed it, said ok, gave me £150.

No, I don't think so. It will give you results for the surface, but what about inside. If you are testing a plated ring and want to be sure about plating if it's real, sure, but if you want to know about the whole ring it's not the same.
