Magnet Test to determine if jewelry is Gold or Silver or Platinum

This is the first step to test an item to see if it's gold, silver, or platinum. If the item does NOT draw to the magnet, then it could still be a precious metal. If the item DOES draw to the magnet, then it is NOT made of precious metal.
In this video I'll show you how it works and give you examples of items that I buy.
I have some links in the comments to other testing items I use as well as a better magnet for testing.

Gold Tester
When I need to test an item to see what karat gold it is, I use an electronic tester. The one I have is expensive and only available to jewelers, but here's a similar one on Amazon for about $300:

I have a bunch of different types of these, but here's a simple one that would work well AND it has a built in light, for about $20:

Diamond Tester
If you want to test those clear stones in your jewelry to see if they are diamonds, and even check if they are natural diamonds or lab grown, this is the tool for that. It's about $250.
