Practice shows that counterfeiting precious metals is by no means uncommon. Fake can be a purchased or accidentally found item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to check gold in at home<\/a>? How to distinguish gold from other metals? How check the gold ring<\/a> by the simplest of means?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The existing methods differ in complexity and costs. Let's consider them in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOP-14 ways - how to check the authenticity of gold at home without a jeweler's estimate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, how distinguish between gold<\/a> from counterfeit? The most accurate way of verification is to go to a jeweler in a workshop or pawnshop. However, there are many time and experience-tested methods that can be resorted to when there is no opportunity to visit a specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/span>
Checking a gold ring for authenticity<\/span><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Verification of the stigma with the sample, standard samples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of the list is a check for the markings. The following gold marks are set for Russia: Z75, 500, 585, 750, 875, 916, 958, 999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the jewelry pieces from Soviet times you can find 58Z sample<\/a> of the precious metal, which corresponds to 585, the most popular in our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All markings of the domestic manufacturer will consist of the cipher of the State Inspectorate, the sign of the assay certificate, the numerical designation of the alloy according to the metric system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The State Inspectorate's cipher indicates the territory where the product was stamped according to the results of the quality check. The Russian assay certificate mark is an imprint of a woman's head in a kokoshnik. The metric value of the assay indicates how much pure precious metal the alloy contains.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The rim of the branding on gold works looks like a spatula, on silver works it looks like a barrel. When checking the branding, make sure the markings are clearly visible, not smudged or blurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

If the purchase is made abroad, the content of the precious metal can be stated in the carat system. Then the branding will look like an imprint of the numerical value and the letter \"K\".<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The absence of a marking may mean a fake, a piece from a private collection or that the jewelry was made in a country where the stamping of jewelry is not mandatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Verification<\/span>

No smell from real precious metal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Checking gold for authenticity at home almost always involves this method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Real gold is odorless. Even silver has its own peculiar smell, which cannot be said of the sun metal.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you smell a strong atypical odor from the jewelry, be sure it is a fake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equally intense shine in sun and shade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is generally accepted that the precious metal will shine identically in the shade as well as in the sun. However, this method of verification will definitely not work with used items, as they are likely to lose out to new ones in brightness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, it is difficult to judge objectively the intensity of the glow: one person may think the glow is identical, another will notice the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

You can try to compare two items in the sunlight and in the shade - the jewelry under test and real tested gold.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ringing with the glass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Self-check the gold at home can be \"musical\" way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal products make their own unique sounds when in contact with a smooth surface. This rule applies to solar metal as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

If you throw a gold ring into an empty glass, you can hear a clear high sound, comparable to the ringing of crystal.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Difference in color between the joints with a clasp<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The clasped joint of the chains and bracelets may contrast with the color of the entire piece. This is not a marriage at all; on the contrary, the difference in color will tell you that the precious metal is real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

When soldering jewelry, jewelers use a different grade of solder to make it easier to melt. This is why there can be a difference in shade.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Darkening of gold when tested with iodine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pharmacy iodine checks are the best known and one of the most effective ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the item is cleaned with medical alcohol and wiped dry. Then a stick soaked in iodine should be touched to the surface of the jewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How identify the gold<\/a>? The answer is: on the real one, iodine will leave a dark trace. If the stain is lighter, you are faced with a surrogate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

It is recommended to clean the iodine stain immediately with medical alcohol, and rinse the jewelry with running water.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Checking the product with vinegar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let's consider how to check the authenticity of gold using a product that everyone has among everyday items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can only dissolve the precious metal in Tzar's vodka<\/a> - a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acid. Vinegar will not work on the original, which cannot be said for fakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an experiment, dip the jewelry in vinegar for 7 minutes. If the piece fades, it is a fake. Gold, on the contrary, will shine as after an effective cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No reaction to ammonia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You will need ammonia for testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soak absorbent cotton in a solution of alcohol and wipe the item for several minutes. If the absorbent cotton does not change color, then you have a sunny metal in front of you. If it has acquired a blue hue, then the ornament is made of brass or copper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lapis pencil vs. counterfeit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An antiseptic lapis lazuli containing silver nitrates is sold in every pharmaceutical outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The product will need to wet, then draw a line on the product pencil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you tell the difference between gold? Answer: real precious metal will have no pencil marks. Non-precious alloys will darken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Determine the reaction of gold to a magnet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Verification with a magnet<\/a> - a fairly simple method, but it has its own nuances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar metal is diamagnetic, a well-known fact. However, aluminum and copper are not attracted either. A powerful neodymium magnet would be required to accurately test this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the product is magnetic, it could mean the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
