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...
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?
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
Like I just said real sold gold it will not stick to a magnet but the clasp like the lobster clasp will stick to the magenta because it has metal in it if was a sold gold clasp.it would break up the irons!! Maiden manic enjoy your sold 14kgold💎💎🤘🤘🎶🎶🎵🎸🎸🇬🇧🇬🇧
Only if it’s 24 kt gold. 10kt and 14kt have nickel and tin along with copper it so it can attracted to magnet. . Gold tester is only tester which good to test. Like this lady found out in the video her fake chain didn’t attach to the magnet. But gold tester told the truth
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?!
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
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
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.
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.
@@TexasGalTreasures thank you for replying back . I have never bought gold online only in person. But I saw a bracelet I wanted that would match my ankle bracelet. And I am doing research and I came upon your videos. But I won't buy it since I wrote the seller a message about the stamping on the bracelet and it says turkey and I could read the other stamp on it and this is what she wrote me back. ("We sell only real gold jewelry. Pure gold is 24K 14K has 58.5% gold and 41.5% alloy...you can google everything Keep in mind that stamps mean strictly nothing nowadays. Anyone can stamp whatever he wants. When it comes to gold you can only trust the reviews and number of sales. Keep in mind that the bracelet is lightweight Have a nice day").
@@joelrodriguez3865 I bought mine from a Mexican man with his children. He lied to me in front of his children telling me it was my lucky day! FAKE shit! I hope these people get caught! Next time i'm getting the plate number!
I didn't check for 10k because even if it were gold plated over silver, the silver content would've tested positive with the 18k. With it being both magnetic and not testing positive for silver, it wouldn't affect the price of the necklace to be plated over base metal.... Unless there is something I'm else missing or not considering??
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.

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 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
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🇬🇧🇬🇧🎸🎸🎵🎵🤘🤘
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!
@Milton Hernandez What state? I live in WA ST, and he said he had to get back to L.A.! One of his boys looked to be around 4, and the other 6. His youngest was sleeping in the back seat. How much did he get from you?
@Milton Hernandez same thing happen to me i was leaving casino guy pulls up with his family in car sad story he needed gas to get to boston he started taking off his chains and rings two 18 chains two rings for 200 but i had just won 2000 so I didn’t feel to bad about getting got usually im up on the scams but when i seen family in car i felt a lil compassion but they were fake
Was it a SUV and was the Mexican man a little fat and the wife a little fat with a gold trim around here teeth? They usually catch you at a laundromat or something parking lot 🤣 they have that same piece in the video and if you turn one piece down, they offer another piece. Same story. I got the necklace and bracelet for $40. Told them that's all I had and gave them a story myself. They won the con game, but only for $40 😜🤦🏾♂️🙂
@@elicoleman5604 You were smart Eli, and the Mexican I seen started to get aggressive with me wanting $500! He was starting to piss me off! My gold chain looks like crap now. These people need to have their asses kicked! What are they going to do? Call the cops? I keep waiting for another guy to try it except this time I will video them!
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
I got ripped off! Mine says 18K , and a Mexican man told me it was real! He gave me a sob story with his kids watching him do it! I also got a big fake gold ring! All for $240! If I would of gave him $500 he would of gave me a FAKE Rolex too!
@@davidregan9872 wow this just happened to me today.. sob story about his family being from Texas and they had no gas to get back home and his card wasn’t working i offered to help his family out and give him gas money.. he then offered his gold and said its from Dubai His family has money.. sold me a beveled mariner chain and bracelet, Versace ring and a fake Rolex in exchange for $400 to get home. I didn’t test the gold yet but the Rolex ticks so it’s a replica for sure.
@@NOAH85SSE Sorry to hear you got taken too! When I took the FAKE gold in to see how much it was worth the gal just said FAKE, and I was the 4th person that day to bring fake gold in. I was so pissed off! I doubt the police could do anything, and I'm sure they are still scamming people!
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
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!
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. ♥️🙏
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
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!
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🇬🇧🎸🎸🎵🎵🎶🤘💎💎💎
Not all the time , some gold items are based metaled with steel alloy & copper - then they are Gold Plated / Flashed { up to 1 micron thk. } sometimes they are heavy Gold Plated or Rolled on Silver { Vermeil 2-3 microns thk. } or on Zinc/Copper. Just remember that you have to separate the ferrous gold from the non-ferrous gold ... ferrous gold has to be Cupelled ! the non-ferrous gold has to be Aqua Regia Acid !
I have two 14k gold chains and the jump rings where not sodderd.and they are are real.sold.14k.italan.gold tested up the irons maiden manic🤘🤘🎶🎶🎵🎸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Everyone that buys acid, you need to buy new acid every 6 months for accurate results
Yes. The get old
How much would you price that chain if it's not real?
my necklace hallmark shows ⭐172 AR. It weighs 5grams. How many carat of goal is it and what's the value ?
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?
Did you try testing the chain part of the necklace?
I don't think so... I'll go double check it
Did you by chance have the necklace tested by a jeweler. Ive been told by numerous people not to test the clasp.
Where did you get your tester kit I don’t see it.
What if my gold chain only has 1 14k stamped on it but not on the clasp ?
Real or
I have two pieces and it says A1 14k
Due to jewelry possessing other metals it will tarnish gray especially 10 kt 41.7%.
That first “earring” is a clacker or hinged segment septum nose, cartilage, daith ring
Did you try the 10k acid?
HELP ANYONE I have a 14k necklace with a U and a circle around it what does it mean
What about the Kee electronic gold testers, do you recommend them?

Why did you choose the 18k testing solution over the silver testing solution?
It shows up better on the black stone. The silver solution turns the mark a darker red color

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. ♥️🙏
weigh your solid gold chains on a digital scale , gold is heavy !
I hope I didn't buy a fake chain
925 is silver😀
just tale a magnet to spot a fake.gold!
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
Gold filled probably
I buy the finder nails
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!
Hey Pamela, Thanks so much for watching!
Great video! Thanks for sharing. XO
So glad you found it helpful, BettyXO!
Thanks very informative, Love the nails.
I was gonna say, nails need to be re-done, especially if you're gonna zoom in.
Fucking hell. How many times are you going to say "And"
This was exciting to watch! I’m shocked that item was marked 14k and wasn’t!
ThriftyEsme, :) Thank you very much!! :)
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🇬🇧🎸🎸🎵🎵🎶🤘💎💎💎
Not all the time , some gold items are based metaled with steel alloy & copper - then they are Gold Plated / Flashed { up to 1 micron thk. }
sometimes they are heavy Gold Plated or Rolled on Silver { Vermeil 2-3 microns thk. } or on Zinc/Copper.
Just remember that you have to separate the ferrous gold from the non-ferrous gold ... ferrous gold has to be Cupelled !
the non-ferrous gold has to be Aqua Regia Acid !

You have to be patient sometimes. You cant keep getting tired of things and quit. Like for instance if you would have stayed in school you would have been able to spell else.
@@djharryjohnson people don't come here for a school day they just want the info not a story
@@sobored2699 yes I already know that, but obviously you are coming to for information you dont know. So dont that mean you are trying to learn something? You the type of person that hear some sh** and go and repeat it. Then when someone ask you a question about it you dont know what the fu** you talking about because you dont know how to explain it.
@@djharryjohnson kool story bro but didn't ask
@@sobored2699 I know you didnt. I just thought i tell you anyway. Since I wasn't talking to you in the first place.
Test those fingernails and see if they're real 🤣
U talk toooo much
Please next time dont explain everything.
