- 🌟 How to Test Gold With a Magnet: Spot Fake Gold 🌟
Ever wondered if your shiny gold piece is the real deal? Learn how to do an easy DIY test at home using a magnet.
🔍 Step-by-Step Guide:
Check Magnet Functionality: Start by ensuring your neodymium magnet works. Test it on items like paper clips or nails.
Prepare the Gold: Clean your gold thoroughly to remove any dirt or grime that might affect the test.
Testing Process: Place the gold on a clean surface and approach it carefully with the magnet without touching it.
Magnetic Response: Genuine gold won't stick to the magnet-watch closely for that magic non-stick moment!
Interpret Results: If the magnet does stick, it might be a fake.
🛑 Important Tips:
Neodymium Magnet: Use a neodymium magnet for its strong magnetic field, ideal for testing gold.
💡 What to Expect:
Non-Magnetic Gold: Authentic gold will not be attracted to the magnet.
Magnetic Response: If the gold attracts the magnet, this suggests it may be fake or alloyed with magnetic metals.
💧 Post-Test Considerations: Clean your gold item to remove any residual magnetism or debris after testing. Gently polish with a soft cloth to maintain its shine.
📌 Remember: While helpful, the magnet test is not foolproof and may not detect all types of counterfeit gold. Some fake gold items contain copper, which doesn't stick to gold. Combine with other testing methods for accurate results.

Most fake gold is formed using non-magnetic metals! So please don't use this as a stand alone test.
Usually 2 more methods more reliable than the magnet are used in addition to a simple magnet test. XRF or conductivity tests are great, but expensive is equipment needed (or a jeweler can do it for you) . Acid scratch test is one of the cheapest methods, but it marks the material.
She mentioned that
Yes, some fake gold items contain copper and other non-magnetic metals, which is why we recommend using multiple testing methods to confirm that your gold is real.
I have a necklace that only sticks to the magnet on the clasp everywhere else it don’t stick so does that mean it’s real or fake
Can you visit my video about magnet test tnx
Hi. If the necklace only sticks to the magnet at the clasp, My guess is the clasp is made of a magnetic metal, and the rest of the necklace is not. Many jewelry clasps are made from metals that are different from the main body of the jewelry piece, sometimes for durability and cost.
Gold itself is not magnetic, so if the main part of your necklace doesn't stick to a magnet, it could mean that it's real gold. Still, I recommend trying other testing methods to be more certain.

@chrishixon3420, l too have a necklace, also a braclet to the clasp only. Is the rest of the braclet gold or brass? Acid test will probably prove it.
The clasp in necklaces has a tiny spring which is made out of steel. Magnet test is old and outdated anyway. And with a strong enough magnet some gold alloys will have a slight pull to a magnet
Many clasps have been replaced, especially in vintage jewelry.
What , if the fake gold ornament is made of brass or copper , which don't attract to magnets ?
The magnet test has its limitations. If the fake gold is made of non-magnetic metals like brass or copper, it won't be detected by a magnet. It's good to use acid-testing for more accurate results.
The necklace is real gold?
Yes, the necklace is made from 18-karat gold.
Thanks maam subscribe done new friend
Thank you for the subscription and support, @experto-expert! Looking forward to sharing more useful information with you.
meron po bang gold na dumidikit sa magnet
@martcastro7010, ang purong ginto (24k) ay hindi dumidikit sa magnet. Ngunit, kung may halo itong ibang metal tulad ng nickel o bakal, maaaring dumikit ito sa magnet lalo na kung mas mababa sa 24k ang karat ng ginto.
Pakisulyap nyo po ang video ko aboutt magnet pwede nga bng malaman kung tunay ang ginto pagnagustuhan nyo po pkisuport tnx
Magnet gold test is not advisable because so manny none magnetic meral.
Hey @experto-expert, thanks for tuning in and for your valuable input!
You're absolutely right. The magnet test is just one of many ways to check. It's a simple and quick method, but it's not foolproof since not all non-gold metals are magnetic.
That's why I recommend using multiple testing methods to get a more accurate idea of whether gold is real or not. Your point is super important 👍💎
