If you look on the back of the pendant, there will be a stamp that tells the karat content of it. On necklaces you will see it on a link at the end of the chain.
made in Korea. 99.9% of time is goldplated, not solid gold. Only way to tell is acid test.
Take it to a local jeweler if you don't want to put makeup on you line the chain up end and end put it on your face for about five minutes if there is a balck mark on your face if there isn't its fool gold
To determine if a necklace chain is made of gold, you can look for markings such as a karat stamp (e.g., 14k, 18k), which indicates the purity of the gold. Additionally, you can perform a simple acid test using a gold testing kit, or take the chain to a jeweler for professional evaluation.
You can tell if an item is gold plated by examining for signs of wear and tear. If the base metal starts showing through, it's likely gold plated. Another way is to consult a professional jeweler who can perform a proper test to determine the gold content of the item.
To know if you chain if real has to have Life Time Guaranties, because soft yellow gold alloys,with copper, brass, bronze, it's not real soft pure gold chain you never in you life time go to see real pure soft yellow gold metal chain,because 24k yellow gold it's too soft ... Look for product to has Life Time Guaranties !!! You can see the different quality in durability in you own hand !!!
You can check for a hallmark on the jewelry piece that indicates the gold content, such as "14k" for 14 karat gold. You can also have the jewelry piece tested by a professional jeweler to determine if it is solid gold or gold-plated.
If you don't provide the weight of the chain, how is anyone supposed to be able to tell you what its worth? Thats how gold is valued, by weight, not by where it was made.
325 does not mean 18ct white gold. Whoever is saying that is sadly mistaken. It means it’s sterlin silver. Now it might be gold plated or whatever after the piece was made but that’s it. I have a chain in my hand now with Italy on one side and 325 on the other. Its gold but has tarnished at an extremely fast rate. I’d love for someone to tell me this is white gold. Clowns I tell ya.
Look for official markings and see if there is any change in color. Try using the biting method. If there are any indentations in the gold after biting it may be real. Also try the magnet test. Real gold is not magnetic, so if it's attracted in any way to a magnet, it's fake!
Well, is very important to know any chain from 10k thru 22k it is not soft yellow gold;but it is alloys composition with copper, bronze, or brass in the soft yellow gold metal. But only in 24k it's yellow gold soft metal!
It means it's 14 karat Italian gold. It should be real, but if you wanna be 100% sure take it to a jeweller and they will be able to tell you.
