How to Test Gold at Home With Toothpaste

Рет қаралды 432,653

Жыл бұрын

Toothpaste is a readily available item that anyone can use to test gold at home.
However, as with any authentication method, you need to know if using toothpaste is reliable and safe. After all, you don’t want to damage real gold items, whether you have a solid gold coin or jewelry pieces.
First, apply a small amount of white toothpaste to your gold item. Gently rub the toothpaste onto the gold for 30 seconds. Rinse your gold jewelry under cold water to wash off the toothpaste. Finally, dry it with a soft, clean cloth. Real gold will retain its original color.

Can I ask? I have a golden coin. I tried it the black stuff was there. Then I tried it on my quarter (20 European cents) and the black stuff also appears to be there. What does that mean?

I have fake gold chain but it gives black spot

@JewelryIntel 8 ай бұрын

Interesting observation! Fake gold can indeed react differently to various tests. The toothpaste test is not foolproof and might not work the same for every fake gold item. It's always better to have your items tested by a professional.

gold also give black color when the gold is dirty

@JewelryIntel 8 ай бұрын

That's a valid point! Dirt and oils can sometimes cause gold to appear black or tarnished. It's always a good idea to clean your gold items before testing them.

Exactly bc any jewelry that's dirty on a white cloth will leave a mark 😅

This is only good at determining if the outside of the object is gold. Which could mean it's gold plated

Doest the toothpaste acid can damage the gold jewelry?

@JewelryIntel 8 ай бұрын

You bring up a great point! Some toothpastes can have abrasive ingredients that might potentially scratch or damage gold, especially gold-plated jewelry. It's always safer to have your gold items evaluated by a professional.

all metals leaves black marks when you polish it

@JewelryIntel 8 ай бұрын

That's true! Many metals can leave black marks when polished. The toothpaste test is more of a fun DIY method rather than a definitive test for gold authenticity.

I did that to my legit 18k gold ring and it doesn't have black on the white handkerchief but in a acid test in a black stone it indicates my gold is legit 18k gold

@JewelryIntel 8 ай бұрын

Yes, the acid test is a more reliable method for verifying gold authenticity. The toothpaste test is a simple home method, but it might not always provide accurate results as your experience suggests. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Hey @experto-expert, thanks for your comment! You bring up a good point. Dirt can affect the outcome, giving misleading results. It's a simple, home-based method, but it's not the most reliable. That's why it's good to combine this with other methods. Always good to have keen observers like you in the community! 👍✨
