Your gold jewelry can last a lifetime if you take good care of it. And before you buy, it\u2019s worth knowing how to distinguish real gold from imitation. Here\u2019s a practical guide.<\/p>\n
Gold jewelry has a small stamp with the carat weight: 10K, 14K, 18K<\/strong> or in milliseconds (417, 585, 750<\/strong>It is usually on the closure of the chain, on the clasp of the bracelet or inside the ring. If you see GP, GF or HGE<\/strong>, means that it is plated or filled with gold, not solid gold.<\/p>\n Gold is not magnetic. If the piece sticks to a magnet, it is most likely not gold (although the clasp may have an steel spring, so check the piece itself).<\/p>\n If another color appears below in areas of higher friction (reddish, gray, or greenish), it usually means that the bath is being used up.<\/p>\n Homemade tests help, but the only safe way is for a jeweler to examine it with acid or with a measuring instrument. At La Borla Gold we do this in the store; bring your piece to us and we\u2019ll tell you what it is.<\/p>\n Avoid bleach, chlorine and abrasive products.
