How to spot FAKE GOLD

As the owner of Jacoje Fine Jewelry, i've been dealing with gold for years. I sell a lot of gold jewelry. I believe everyone should own a piece of gold. In this video, I give me personal tips on how to spot fake gold jewelry just by looking at it. With years of practice, I can usually tell if a gold piece of jewelry is fake just by looking at it.

[@erikdegby4652]

True...lol...honestly its no such thing as Fake gold, its real gold its just that they put a thin layer of gold over another metal. The real question should be how to spot SOLID Gold? many gold replicas that shine look just as good as the solid ones. I bought a real Gold Jesus piece the charm and chain cost me too much and later it was stolen....but ..its pointless to purchase upscale-high priced GOLD, because we all know with Jewelry it always ends up broke or stolen anyway.

Maroons? Lol I think you meant "morons."

Eric Digby aye i feel u bro i paid alot of money for my rope chain and my jesus pendant and my chain popped on me so this week I purchased a 20” franco chain from gld shop its looks nicer than my real chain so im just gonna throw the jesus pendant on it what u think my guy am i fraud for that??😂😂

[@mariceldb2990]

To test the purity of gold (other way), dip it in vinegar, if the color of the gold changes, the vinegar is pure.

[@jerryfacts9749]

I have experience in handling gold. Sometimes without proper testing it can sometimes be difficult to determine if the piece is authentic. There are pieces coming in from Asian and Far East countries that are marked as authentic and they are not. They are very well finished to look real.

[@jerryfacts9749]

The brown look in fake gold is from oxidation. When making fake gold items, they alloy about 1% to maybe 2% gold with brass. This makes the brass look like gold when polished. Over time it will start to have some oxidation.

Thank you for taking the two gold rope chains outside to the sunlight. Your credibility is A++, brother. Your descriptions and how your articulate the differences between real and fake are spot on! I knew what you meant before you even stepped outside but actually seeing it in the sunlight definitely shows the contrast. Thanks!

i just bought a 5mm 14k Franco chain from Jacoje, and i also plan on(hopefully- times is tough) passing it down to my offspring. My grandma (RIP) gave me a 2mm rope chain with a jesus pendant and i hold that dear to me as well

[@ViperLevel]

i think it's best to buy from legit jewelers, shouldn't be hard to find if you know about buying gold to begin with. learn about grams, penny weights, and pure gold percentages in 10, 14, 18, 24k, etc. learn current price per ounce/gram of the various purities. then you can fight with sellers about scrap price and what your paying over. learn before you buy, not after or you'll overpay for tiny chains and pieces. example, just bought 4.5mm diamond cut 14k rope chain 24 inches $1800, at 31.41 grams total weight or almost 1.2 ounces, or 20.2 pennyweights (market is $1200+per ounce of 14k purity, as 58.3% of the chain is pure 14k, get it?). the extra markup i paid comes from the engineering costs,taxes added, and profit rates of course. use these formulas when u wanna spend any amount of money on gold and don't wanna get ripped off. i think 14k is best balance of strength(mixed intentionally with half metal and less fragile if u wear and are active ) overall price, and color.

[@dickybill1961]

[@anthonypatrick5621]

I've found the reason why the fake one is brown and on some occasions silver looking, is because what the base metal is. What I mean by that is, the glazing over the metal. Most plated gold that is fake is over brass or stainless steal. In other cases it's a different metal. The reason why it discoloration is the tarnishing from use

[@jacoje]

[@jeffersonfaudan]

the comparison may not apply depending on what gold you are looking at... japanese gold/philippine gold/italian gold/spanish gold/chinese gold/singapore gold/thai gold/saudi gold will all have different "gold hues"... saudi gold can look "brownish-yellow" at 21K... chinese gold can go "very yellow" in 21-24K.. japanese standard 18K gold looks less yellow and more brown... 14K will look "less yellowish" under the sun because it's not reflecting the gold but the other metals mixed in it.... in most asian/middle east countries 14K is a joke and only used when there's a need to mount a stone for strength... it should be 18K the least and up to 21-22K for high quality jewelry...

[@jacoje]

+jefferson faudan great points!

[@gjolinares23]

That's right. In Peru where my dad is from 18k is like a standard anything under is considered very low quality. But 21k & 24k isn't smart to but because it's more delicate.

[@negronera18]

all gold comes from the ground/earth so doesn't matter where it comes from it has the same universal price also. Different continents may mix the gold with different alloys to give it more or less colour.

[@mikehundredson584]

jefferson faudan high quality fine jewelry doesn't have to be 22k minimum brother. Have you ever worked on high purity gold with fine jewelry? Fine jewelry is done in 18k gold or .950 platinum but Jewelers prefer to work on 18k gold because platinum is harder to work with if you had to resize a ring or any kind of soldering repair work. I have to say .950 platinum is easier to set pave in but since platinum is so soft the prongs wear out faster and the customer will lose stones. 18k is great to work with and easier to do repairs on. Even with a laser platinum is a bitch if you had to size a ring.

[@negronera18]

electro plated. These type of chains if you rub them between your hands for about 20 seconds you will get the smell of metal straight away. Its a quick test to see if its EP or not

[@mikehundredson584]

negronera18 all chains are plated bud. 14k gold even polished doesn't look to yellow that's why they are 18k plated straight from the manufacturer. If you have an old 14k chain you will notice from years of use, contact with skin, and regular ultrasonic cleaning it will look dull that's because the original 18k plate wore off.

[@negronera18]

solid gold chains aren't plated they are mixed with other alloys depend on what gold they are to get that colour. 18kt yellow gold chain will have 75% gold mixed with copper and a small percentage of nickel/zinc etc or other alloy to gain the strength. The poster above my post was saying that some fake gold eg electro plated gold can smell due to the smell of the copper. The only pure gold that gets plated is white gold which receives rhodium to give it a strong hard coating finish and more resistant to scratches. That is of course if the jeweler has mixed the yellow gold with a higher percentage of nickel to get the silver colour. Some white gold makers mix the yellow gold with silver or even platinum for a stronger whiter finish that won't make their white gold ring turn yellow and require a re dip of rhodium plating very often

[@mikehundredson584]

negronera18 my family has been in the jewelry business for 50+ years doing wholesale work for other Jewelers and also owning a few retail stores. They hand made everything from hand carving wax molds, casting, pre polish cleaning, setting, cutting, everything to the finish product. I worked summers as a kid shooting wax, casting, and polishing jewelry. The only thing they carried in their store that they didn't make by hand were chains. I've been to Italy to the factory where they make the chains ok you have to realize these are not one single peice of gold but rather links that are soldered together than polished after the polish they are plated. Also why do you say " the only pure gold that's plated is white gold"? Pure gold is .9999 and yellow bud. White gold, especially 14k white gold, is rhodium plated after you polish to look more white it has nothing to do with scratch resistance. Also you would use palladium with a base metal when alloying for white gold.

[@negronera18]

and im from arezzo which is were the 1st gold company uno aerre comes from, whats your point? 9kt gold is 9kt gold its not plated in 18kt, maybe thats the way your family made gold but ive worked and tested numerous of gold pieces from all around the world and when you acid test new and second gold pieces they only stand against what kt they are made from. If you knew your alloys you would know that rhodium is the most expensive alloy and is what makes the white gold not tarnish due to the hardness, that is why silver tarnishes and white gold doesn't. Just because the gold you have dealt with may have been plated in a higher kt, doesn't mean that every jeweller in the world redips their gold piece in a higher kt piece. 18kt looks brighter for a reason, 9 kt looks less brighter for a reason. Pure gold in my reference refers to solid gold. If every different chain that is made is then redipped in a higher kt as you say then they would all look the same?

[@nafee-sa910]

[@truthseeker1581]

Retail can be overpriced tho... your always gonna pay over spot price but if you shop around you don't have to spend way more than it's worth

[@evam.3023]

This is silly. There are easier and less subjective ways to tell if gold is real. First see if it's marked. If its marked 10k, 14k, 18k or 24k you should definitely take a closer look. If it's not marked anywhere it's almost a foregone conclusion that it's fake. Then there's the magnet test. Gold and silver dont react to the magnetic pull and while there are some exceptions most fake jewelry will stick. That was always my first step when someone brought in a large amount of jewelry and it was all mixed together; run the magnet over and hand them back everything that got picked up. The rest I would go over looking for markings, setting aside any obvious fakes. FACT: Being able to recognize real/fake jewelry is something that only comes with experience. There are too many little tells not to mention variations in style and quality of fake (or "costume") jewelry to give anything resembling a comprehensive lesson here, but if you use your magnet, look for the markings and get a second opinion until you're comfortable (any pawn shop will confirm authenticity if ur not above insinuating that your gold is for sale). There's absolutely no rule stating that u have to accept their lowball offer;)

[@beanboi_13]

Eva Morgan 14k gold can have nickel in it so surely it’s stick to a magnet right? I have a supposed 14k rope chain and it sticks to a magnet. It seems like real gold though, it has a nice color and a good weight. If it sticks it doesn’t automatically mean it’s fake right?

[@egg5180]

Brian Ruiz I have a 14 k figaro Nd it doesn't stick. Depends on what's in the chain I guess, but usually the part that connects and disconnects will stick to a magnet bc of the spring in it to close the clip.

[@evam.3023]

@@beanboi_13 I'm sorry but anything above 10k (which is the lowest amount of gold that a piece of jewelry must contain in order to be of any value) will NEVER stick to a magnet. Neither will silver. I was tought this by a jewelry store owner and have since seen literally dozens of people use the trick when buying jewelry "off market". There's a staggering amount of misinformation here. Go to a pawnshop. They will test ur gold for free.

[@dianarendon4047]

Also, is the value of gold determined just by the weight or also on the Kts? Does the weight factor apply just to chains, or also to any other type of jewelry? Let's say I have a 14k yellow gold small ladies' ring that has small diamonds and sapphires in it, so if that ring is 14k but doesn't in itself have much weight because its a small ladies' ring (but has some small gemstones in it) can that affect the value of the ring? Thank you very much for your time.

[@thegardencity92]

Generally no.. the stones are not worth much themselves. The K is the purity of the gold.. so if you have a 10g 14k piece of jewelry (without stones), the value of the chain should be the spot price of gold (about $60/gram) times the purity (which would be 14/24, or .5833) times the weight (10) which is about $350. Nobody wants the tiny gemstones since you can't melt them down and recreate into something else easily, those would have to be removed from the jewelry before weighing

how much should a 22 inch 4 mm rope chain cost?

[@kenabbott8585]

One of the things I learned quick while working at a pawn shop is toc heck the clasp and look for the number 925. The reason that number is important is because it basically means Sterling Silver (sterling silver is 92.5% pure. If a piece of gold jewelry has "925" on the clasp, then it's made of sterling silver, and gold-plated.

I got a chain 24k gold fat as the Frako bracelet how much is its value

I got a 999.99 gold pendant 1 mg as a promo from a company called ottega london. Would you say it's most likely fake?

[@allantelee3885]

Put lighter fire to it if it changes color it's fake or buy a magnet real gold won't stick

[@madarauchiha919]

@@allantelee3885 thanks for the advise. Will definitely remember for the future. Unfortunately I already found out it was fake. I should have seen it coming since it was cheap. But I'll keep your advise in mind if and when I buy gold again.

What's 14k solid gold bc I wanted to buy gold but it said solid gold 🤔🤔🤔

[@jacoje]

+Jeffery 進撃の巨人 just means it's solid. There's hallow and semi hallow chains that aren't solid. Everything is the purity that it's indicated (10kt,14kt,18kt).

I have a gold chain and I can't tell if it fake or real it has a carving in it which says GLD if you could respond your email or phone number so I could send a pic of it thx

[@Avigaytan1989]

As long as is gold u good 10k 14k 18k or whatever it is just make sure you don't over pay weight the chain and google it to see what's the value per Gram base on the karats u planning to buy remember if u ever plan to resell it pawnshops or whenever u planning to sell it at they will only pay you for the weight not the design nor how much u bought it for .

[@flamecranium7787]

Freedom 進撃の巨人 gold is categorized by karat. a karat is percentage go pure gold to a cut metal. pure gold (.9999) is 24 karat. so, you devide 100 by 24 and it come out to around 4 percent per karat. so, 10 karat has ~%40 gold, 10 karats x %4 (per karat) =%40.

[@RCdada609]

what about hollow gold? I have a 10k hallow rope gold chain from kmart that is real light and everyone thinks its fake. it cost me $400. its 24 inch 5mm.

If the "gold" sticks to a magnet, you have a big problem also ;-)

[@user-tr4el8nf4m]

what happens if like two little little little parts of my chain stuck but literally the rest of the chain and didnt even react to it what does that mean does it mean its real cuz the whole chain didnt stick

[@raulgonzalez1251]

What If i walk through the thing that checks if I got weapons and it beeps lol

[@YourPapiLos]

@@user-tr4el8nf4m if the part that is hooking is the clasp where you connect the chain it’s normal because there’s springs inside of it but if it’s the links of the chain or the ropes then that’s not good

[@TyraVegas]

Would it still have the same brown look if it’s gold “dipped”

[@dianarendon4047]

Thank you for your time, very informative video. Do you by any chance have some expertise on gemstones too? If so, you should make a video about that too for those who have, or think may have diamond, emerald, ruby etc. rings to somewhat get an idea to see if the gems one may have are real or just simulated (imitation) ones. Thanks again.

[@kickzfanatic]

I bought a chain two years ago when i first got into jewelry its stamped 14kt 585 and it also says gs what does that mean i paid $2000 at a jewelry store it weights 33 grams

[@Sonia-ju6po]

Thanks for demonstrating how to tell the difference between a real 14K gold chain and a fake one.

[@copievillamaria]

What if I gold plate a copper chain with 22 ct gold. Manual stone tests should say 22 ct and magnetic test will also be negative too! Your comments please! Thanks!

[@jacoje]

+copievillamaria the magnet will pick up on it. If it's plated, it's only a thin thin thin layer of gold. That's why you have to use all your tools. If it passes the acid test, you have to magnet test it and that will fail. You would then need to make a deeper cut to get under that plating.

[@copievillamaria]

How will Copper attract magnet! Thats the question bro!

[@copievillamaria]

I think I found the answer...Clorox (Caustic soda) will turn copper to Green, otherwise its used to shine the gold! Will still need a little cut to the jewelry!

I got a 14k golden skull ring for 170$

Whats the size and specs of that chain you have on your neck in the video? I'm looking for something just like that in yellow 14k gold.

[@jordanrozich661]

I wear fake chains who cares I rather have money in my bank then spend it on a metal around my neck ( but yet again I don’t flex it like it’s real, I just like the feel of it on my neck).

[@Utahtruckguy]

Jordan Rozich same, I could afford a real gold chain. But I just like the look so I don’t care

[@hannahz194]

Gold is an investment though,its value increases over time so if u end up bankrupt or something you could sell your gold for a high price

How much should a 14k gold chain that is 26inch weigh ?

[@debrawilder9551]

they could have bought it when gold was low like I did 99 and back gold was like 300 and something a ounce

My dad bought his chain for 1600 back in the 90’s… just got offered 25k for it last year

[@ivanmorales4273]

Is swap meet or el faró plaza is real or fake jewelry?

[@mmac6454]

you cannot look at it and tell its fake. you got 10k 14k 18k 24k and 21k 22k in some countries, you got rose gold which is all cut with different alloys. the higher the karat the less the alloy and the more gold. 24k 99.9% gold is the darkest of the karats with sort of brownish tint. this guys misleading the people✌🏿

[@negronera18]

copper is mixed with rose gold to give it that colour.

i bought my 14k necklace for 150 dollars so i'm kinda confuse because i think 150 is not really expensive i thought gold was way more expensive like 500 dollars or 1,000 so i was surprise it only cost me 150

[@joelmartinez1684]

Let’s me ask you this! I had this “pure” 10k gold rope chain, that I put to the lighter fire burning test and it quickly changed color and texture into a bronce color. Does that mean that it’s fake?

[@jacoje]

No not necessarily

[@joelmartinez1684]

JACOJE LYNX Can this chain be fixed? Did I totally screw it up? Can it be gold plated?

[@yanceyfarmer2644]

Thanks for the reply I am a soldier deployed and I just bought a 150 gram Cuban link chain and it almost look like 18k I bought it on base at our bx it's stamped on both ends 585 it's a nice chain but it's really yellow so I was unsure about it a cost me $6,000 and it's not the same color as my 14k wedding ring so I was a little concerned about it

[@jacoje]

+Shyrone Farmer Chain finishes can sometimes end up looking different than a ring or pendant. Especially if two different manufacturers made your jewelry.

[@yanceyfarmer2644]

JACOJE LYNX yes I got my ring in the us and I got the chain in the Middle East where they like the look of higher kt gold I was wondering if it can be polish back to normal

[@jacoje]

Shyrone Farmer email me a picture of it if you don't mind. [e-mail] I would like to take a look at it. Thanks

[@yanceyfarmer2644]

I sent the picture thanks a lot it's really bothering me that I spent so much to feel like it's not real or not what Iam used to seeing in 14k

[@johnnythomas8385]

Shyrone Farmer Hi, hope you get this. I am Ret. USAF, I started a small jewelry business and learned a lot. I deal only in real Gold/Silver etc. As for the 585 mark, jewelry sold/made overseas is often marked in this standard. The 585 represents 58.5% which is the amount of gold in the piece. It equals 14 karat at 58.3% or above, if it we're 18 k, it would be marker 750 for 75.0%. As you know pure gold is 24 k/99.9%. Since you bought it at the BX it is likely real as long as it was not by a vendor set up outside at the entrance as sometimes is allowed then I can't be as sure. DO NOT trust Acid testing at any place that buys gold. Many ways it can be inaccurate, showing lower karst amounts or false negatives even. Also trying to use just the "color" is a poor to nominal method at best, takes a lot of pieces to gain an "eye" for it. If a place uses testing method called XRFM that would be a place I would trust providing I could watch the testing done and they also ran a piece for comparison to show the machine was calibrated. I apologize this is so long, just trying to help a Brother In Arms, $6000 is a lot. God Speed. Johnny T. USAF MSGT. RET
