This is the Gold Testing Kit I have: amzn.to/2LMXj4o

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.

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...

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

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?

Exactly what I needed to see today, very helpful. Thank you

Thank you for the information. Such a soothing voice by the way.

Great info. I'm curious a 14kt chain I'm about to purchase has tested for 14 it but it's stamped letters AWAD on lobster clasp. What is this or where is it from? Normally my chains say Italy.

Good information, Margaret. Thanks.

Great vlog, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing so informative 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

New to your channel and I'm loving it! Link to the gold testing kit please? I have my late Mom's jewelry and I know some is marked wrong but would like to test the other suspect pieces.

Thanks for showing this I was just wondering about this yesterday and then your video popped up 🤗

Very informative. Thanks!

Is it possible that the 10k acid in a kit is not good? It didn't dissolve any of my lines I tested and I am pretty sure some was brass

Thanks for for the information. I'm always trying to learn more about jewelry.

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

What about the Kee electronic gold testers, do you recommend them?

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

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

Great info Margaret, so disappointing that there are blatant fakes, hence the need for the testing kit.

Thanks good 2 know I would love 2 have a kit like that. GOD bless ☮

Great video ☺️

Just curious how much will you list that necklace for

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

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

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

Great informative video. Yes, those silver and gold fakes have to be exposed.

That first “earring” is a clacker or hinged segment septum nose, cartilage, daith ring

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

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

Did I miss in the video or something where you actually said the prices that you would give for these things?

10:10 no-no your very right. I can still see the acid there. lol

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?!

Did you try testing the chain part of the necklace?

HELP ANYONE I have a 14k necklace with a U and a circle around it what does it mean

I have a mariner chain gold One same as exactly what you first showed has the 14k emblem on the clamp it doesn't stick to any magnet I didn't do the acid test yet and there's no bronze or brownish tint to it I haven't took it to a expert yet I'm hoping it's real

How much would you price that chain if it's not real?

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

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

What if my gold chain only has 1 14k stamped on it but not on the clasp ?

No it is not only gold. I had the ring I bought at goodwill tested and the diamond tested. I have gotten a bunch of junk jewelry and some was marked but my magnet picked it up.

Sometimes 14k Verma is marked Sterling because it's just dipped in gold

Wonderful video so interesting and educational also nobody ever have perfect nails all the time the video was on real gold vs fake gold. Be respectful please. The content was very informative. ♥️🙏

Did you try the 10k acid?

Great video! Thanks for sharing. XO

Why is she only checking the hook part instead of the actual links in the 14k bracelet?

Thanks

Hi there. Love yr channel. I have a dress clip stamped AT180112. Do u know what that means? I've searched a lot but can't seem to find out what it means.

Thanks very informative, Love the nails.

This is very informative thank you. I have the exact same chain but i tested mine and its real.

I see the acid says 14k.. what if you used it on something that was real 18k or real 10k? What would the results be?

Hello Margret How come you did not test it for 10 KT!! Have a great day!!!!

What about a chain that says 10k mex?

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.

just tale a magnet to spot a fake.gold!

Mine is real 18k gold! It was 300$

I have the same gold chain but not the same style

Omg. I have same necklace only marked 18 kt.im now so upset.ugggg I got robbed.your video was so great.i feel dumb now for buying it

Usualy in the lock or hook its not gold or more on silver

The jump ring doesn’t necessarily need to be solder closed for it to be real. I have 2 14kt chains and neither of them have the rings solder closed. And they are 100 percent real

I have dat chain lol😂 exact same chain

And of course.the lobster claw has steel get.a.magent if you have one and it will stick right on the the magenta.now the spring ring.clasp will not stick to a magnet they are made of sold gold up the irons!!!maiden manic🇬🇧🇬🇧🎸🎸🎵🎵🤘🤘

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

What about testing the necklace with 10k acid to see if it is 10k gold plated? Or does it not work that way..

Do you recommend buying gold from esty?

There is no such thing as fake gold, is either gold or is not

I had a friend try melting down a chain that looks just like that it wouldn't even melt. I did it to prove to a guy that got greedy and bought hand full of fake chains .he didn't believe me I prove to him they were junk he wasn't happy

Bull got me today

Could it have been 10k gold?

Why did you choose the 18k testing solution over the silver testing solution?

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

The scratching hurts me physically.

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 ??

This blew me away, because I have the exact same chain that I bought from a Mexican that gave me a sad story about loosing his wallet! I bought the chain, and a big fat fake ring for $240. He wanted $500, and would of thrown in a FAKE Rolex!

I have the same exact chain ,I mean the same exact one. Only thing mine says 18k. I end3d up realizing I got scammed because it wore off after wearing it playing ⚽️ and showering with it.. I legit thought it was vasacci or something lol

i bought a 10kt rope chain off ebay i stuck a magnet to it and it stuck to the magnet also it says ig5 what does that mean

i have that chain and it said it 18k any thoughts please

weigh your solid gold chains on a digital scale , gold is heavy !

925 is sliver

What dose dmj mean on jewelry

Only 24 k will not be magnetic and will not tarnish ppl are losing alot of money cuz pol say 14 k and 10 k are not msgnetic or able to tarjish but it will it has copper n other alloys

I buy the finder nails

aG circled with 14k??????

This was exciting to watch! I’m shocked that item was marked 14k and wasn’t!

925 is silver😀

Gold filled probably

Did you know most 14kbis actually 13 point whatever..and that it is still legally 14k. So if you test the 13. Whatever k necklace you have with 14k acid......it will dissolve... because it is 13k...why didn't you try the 10k acid on the gold necklace. Not for sure but there might have been a chance it was below 14k per the standard of the us government.. pretty amateur stuff in this video!

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!

DID SHE SAY LOOP???

I had to stop at the nails Go get them filled girl

If your chain is real the jump rings should have hallmarks aswell

Fucking hell. How many times are you going to say "And"

And real gold will not stick to a magnet junky fake gold will and fake gold.will.turn.green stay away.from.that.junk gold is forever just like a.diamond enjoy your beautiful gold and real sold.gold.will.shine.like.crazy in the sun like a diamond🇬🇧🎸🎸🎵🎵🎶🤘💎💎💎

Those nails really do look fake thou

Test those fingernails and see if they're real 🤣

I clicked off she took too long to get to the point . we dont care about anything ealse

U talk toooo much
