Small details EXPOSE the FAKE GOLD SCAM!

[@sheritee7328]

There is so much vintage, ethnic, solid gold jewelry out there that have no stamp on them. They never used to stamp 22k or 24k gold from the far east in places like China or India. Many small local jewelry shops still make solid pieces by hand in those countries and do not stamp them. Just an FYI for you!

[@velapimpin1]

Yes but u still can tell real from fake

[@206dave]

“Buy from a seller you trust” most important words spoken in this video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheGreatVeE]

Having a stamp on your "gold" is a plus, but it's not what tells you if your "gold" is real or if it's the purity your suppose to be buying. The best thing to do before paying for your gold, is to acid test it in the store.

[@lorenzo2534]

I've even seen heavily gold plated Jewlery pass the Acid test

[@BabyJesus66]

You can buy 14k stamps online. So the stamps don't always mean anything. So if anyone wants to start scamming buy some fake chains and a stamp.

[@karlosspades7293]

So who was the winner, haven't seen the video of it?

[@Thomk121]

I saw a recent Cuba knows video when he reviewed a moisanite piece where the dealer will stamp it as higher quality per customers request. I commented my strong unapproval of such practices, but was dragged in response. People stop flexing! Like everything, eventually its going to come to light.

[@AquilesBaezaCabeza]

I found a 14K yellow gold chain marked in a thrift store, but when I acid tested it dissolves, never seen something like this before, the marking is very well made

[@chiil034]

You should test with 10k... it may still be gold, but lower quality. If it dissolves with 10k acid, then most likely it's fake.

[@SDTZM]

Braden you need to make a video explaining the difference between peruvian and italian rope chains… or maybe explaining the differences between different places any gold piece is from in general.

[@WandaWhite-or2le]

Peruvian s cheaper than Italian.

Just curious why "16K" doesn't really exist anymore??? Seems to me that's the best everyday ratio...?

[@amccaffrey1443]

Tip- Anyone can buy a Metal purity stamp to mark it 14k, 24k etc. And also people can buy the clasp in solid gold but put them on a fake or gold plated, gold filled chain. I’d also try the magnet test and as he says in the video, look for color inconsistencies, fading turning green or coppery etc. And finally…if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Before investing in a solid gold piece of jewelry I would look up the current price (spot price) of gold per Troy oz and calculate a general amount you can expect to spend and use that as a guide when shopping around. There are formulas online to help you break down the cost of gold. Keep in mind there can multiple factors to consider where you’re purchasing it (wholesale, retail, pawn shop, estate sales, flea markets, etc.) is it new or used etc. Have an idea of cost before you make your purchase.

[@chrisbrown4283]

[@troubledwaters]

585 is 14k which is 58.5% gold purity. Sometimes the number is stamped instead, like for example, 750 which represents 18k gold (75% gold purity).

[@GodLovesYouJesusIsKing]

Is there a shiny difference between 10k white gold and 14k white gold ? I was told you can’t see a difference

[@Goldeal]

I sell gold personally (48$ per gram 14k if it’s 80+ grams) and since I’m not a shop or have a website I just meet people at jewelry stores/pawn shops so they can have it tested.

[@IamVintage72]

Hey Jacoje. I have a continuous rope chain that has no marks. I actually tested it with a gold, silver and platinum solutions. Its hollow inside. When i tested it passed 10 k , 14k & 18 k but not 22k or platinum. Its non magnetic. My question is have u ever had this issue? 2 are there any fake chains that can pass for gold but not be gold. I received it in a massive Goodwill finds box that was 22 pounds. It weights 69 grams !! Cant be real right ??

[@ThePeacePlant]

I am not Jacoje, but I am wondering if it was possible coated in Gold. If you are legit curious then try to go to a jeweler, really any local jeweler store and ask them if they can check and test it for you

[@marcopolo242]

Do you guys have an idea when the 4mm heavy links will be back in stock?

I have a 4" partial bracelet marked 750 Italy on the clasp. It is very slightly magnetic. Is this worth anything?

[@Flockingtheherd]

I was very shocked I went into a Zales yesterday, I went to test what size bracelet works best for me. I tried on what they had labeled as an 14k gold 8mm Cuban link 8inch bracelet. It had a 4,500 dollar price tag on it!! Tell me why when they hand it to me this thing to me it felt as light as a feather, honestly it felt like it was made from aluminum or something it was that light. I had previously tried on a silver one same thickness and it was considerably heavier. I was just shocked zales would be selling something blatantly fake.

[@thiagoomena5768]

It’s not fake. It is probably just hollow. Don’t buy hollow. The price tag is stupid

[@danielsilvas6200]

Not always the case J a letter P after the purity stamp example 10kp means plum as it the exact percentage of alloy to gold was used. Also 22 and 24 k is not always marked what is your take on this. Is this misinformation or fact

My wife bougth me this figaro 24" chain and has a mark of OL 14k what is that means?

[@mehlenberger4300]

I have a bracelet that says 14k on the clasp and a pawn guy told me it was fake because a magnet picked up ONLY the clasp part, none of the bracelet. So that means it's fake?

[@abeltovar1903]

No, it's may be real for all we know.. same thing happened to me once, jeweler told me it was fake. Decided to hold on to it anyways, later on down the road acid test showed me it was real gold but the clasp was indeed fake so after market clasp it most likely was.

[@chiil034]

@@abeltovar1903 Exactly. The clasp could have a ferrous spring, which is magnetic. Pawn guy should always acid test... if they don't - they're idiots. Plus don't sell to a pawn shop. Find a reputable coin or bullion dealer, they'll give you more.

[@jeremyk.6456]

I’ve been looking at getting into making some chains myself (gonna start with silver Cuban chains to begin with). I’m in the process of purchasing the presses, rollers, spinners, the heavy duty tongs/plates to pour the molds into, and I already have a forge/medium sized crucible (need to get a smaller sized crucible also). My 2 big questions is there anything else that I’m missing to get started in the hobby game and to be able to make nice stuff for family members eventually. The first question is where do I legally get ahold of the stamps for silver and eventually gold? The second question is that if there is anything I’m missing or need to do to legally produce jewelry for hobby/for sale eventually. I live in Texas if that makes any difference but want to ensure I’m not doing anything illegal and to start out by having the right tools and materials for the jobs. I have a large amount of bars of silver that I was planning on using to make into chains, bracelets, rings, and eventually learning how to do different Diamond settings in the different pieces. I’ve been looking for a hobby like this that can hold the value of wealth we get in the precious metals and can increase the value by making it into jewelry or smelt it down if needed to make bars/proof coins (no claim to be made from any country or for any countries currency because I know that would be counterfeiting). If you’re able to give me any pointers it would be awesome but your channel is cool to watch and I’m looking at getting a 28” 5mm Miami Cuban chain in yellow gold within the next week if you still have it in stock to upgrade my old school 4mm yellow gold 26” curb chain.

18 k is one of the most faked,all the stuff the crackheads at the gas stations try and sell is all stamped 18k. One thing I always do is keep a small strong magnet with me when looking and if it's magnetic it's absolutely fake and if it has a small amount of magnetism it's probably a way lower karat than described.

A stamp is enough for most people to fool themselves with something they know very little about and have to trust in someone else to tell them what they have.

[@roringusanda2837]

That sounds like terrible value for your money!!😫 waaay overpriced! You could literally buy a Sterling silver chain with gold vermeil for way cheaper and it'd be more valuable. Please do yourself a favor. Save your money and don't buy anything from a place like Zales. They've got a bad rep, if you haven't heard, same as Jarrods, and cheap mall places like that. Save your money for a year, then go to a GOOD store, jeweler, and get a real chain with some value. Not to mention 10k is ugly as hell. The color is barely there, the finish is dull, you will always look like poor fool if you settle for giving your valuable time and money to ppl to pay for thing that aren't worth it. You say you have the ability and discipline to make those payments? Then use that to pay yourself! Pay yourself what your worth, and your worth more than cheap brass...find a style and color of mtal you like and wait, I'm saving for my personal favorite, a 22k gold snake chain, 4-6 mm...I like real high karat color. I'm wearing a nice 5mm flat snake right now, and it's like a starry ribbon of silk, it's worth something and looks beautiful. A 10k will never look beautiful. Use your head, not your envy of others, or your fear of not having something right now to go into debt for something that's never going to be worth what you're paying for it.
