Real vs Fake Gold: Spotting Counterfeits

on Dec 17 2025
Identifying real gold from fake requires careful observation and basic testing methods. Genuine gold maintains a consistent color, does not tarnish easily, and carries proper hallmark or karat markings. Simple checks such as weight comparison, magnet tests, and visual inspection can help detect obvious counterfeits, while tools like acid tests and electronic gold testers offer more accurate verification. Understanding these differences helps buyers make informed decisions, avoid fraud, and ensure the authenticity and value of their gold jewellery and investments.
