this guy sounds like he is a shady jeweler LMAO imagine going into a jewelry shop to buy something and u see this guy screaming at a camera like a scorn wife LMAOOOO I'm out lmaooo. the jewelry on his site is trash..
@@Ryan.Kooper on what basis you saying his jewelry is trash? Man stfu
@@Ryan.Kooper lol because you can’t afford it doesn’t mean it’s trash goofy , his jewelry is the best of the best and amazing quality , it’s not your $300 icebox ring .

Its about honesty, honour, and integrity. Those are just a few of the MOST CRUCIAL traits of doing business, ESPECIALLY in our industry. Salute to you TraxNYC. Much respect.
This guy should have millions of subscribers, i really thought he would have blown by now
I’m starting to think Trax blocks the garbage subs. Lmao the man is dropping knowledge on under 200k of us. Fuck it keep it that way
500k by now
Fake thugs whit fake cheap ⛓s, sht never stop!🦥
your thought came true my friend
well, he actually does lol
Your the only jeweler that testing your jewelry. I don't see any other doing it
dont make the mistake some people do tho.. some jewelers will putt in real diamonds and links specifically for testing. yea its a sad situation :(
I always admired your compassionate videos.Not everything glitters is gold,do it the right way
Really love your videos , and it's looks like you're an honest person ❤️
You're definately doing all my Gold for me. This is great.
Thank you your genuine response and video. Much appreciated!
this is the first thing i learn when i started collecting scrap gold and silver many years ago. It saved me a few times from some fake junk.
Nice video! Learned something today and it being the Truth was a great bonus. Keep working sir
Love your vibes and videos you run a solid biz. I love to one day buy a custom piece.
An honest man. Appreciated brother 🙏
Love this video - for years I sold 10k, 14k & 18k gold chain locks all over NYC, Providence and LA for a leading Italian manufacturer of locks, I knew there were a ton of tricks in the trade especially those little stamps, but didn't know about this test kit - it's true that the general public get duped all over the world, tourist buyers are some of the easiest to fool. The guy in this video has clearly had enough of his competitors knowingly fooling customers and giving the industry a bad name. Good for him for saying it out loud!
thanks for the info buddy.
you really know know what your talking about.NO BULLSHITTING!!!
👍👍💯
I feel you Sir.
Thanks for educating us.
Good job my bro. Thank you for the needed info!!!😎😎😎
I learned a lot from you than from reading, watching other yt videos and from other people.
VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO FELLOW ,WE NEED MORE LIKE YOU GRETINGS FROM THE PHILIPPINES
I appreciate the knowledge. I took a 14k sold gold Cuban chain that was 24 in had it cut down the 18 and the jeweler swapped out part of my chain. Had the chain for 22yrs never took it off until I went to this jeweler to have it cut.. he Left me with 9 inches of my original chain. And then inches of the swap chain. I haven't the time to go back to that shop , but I'll soon be making a trip there.
Haha you killing the game!😁😂😁
Very helpful and educational video
Thanks man
Excellent video and information, thank you.
Secrets... hollow chains, hollow profiles filled by another metal, including stone weight while selling and subtract while buying, thick plating lower carats gold to pass simple test. And for last that is the biggest crime in the business, selling rhodium plated yellow gold as a white gold.
very straightforward perfect
Trax..legit. Seems like it's a headache dealing w other ppls bullshit. Great videos...
This is very informative. Thanks
Thanks for the knowledge
From the very beginning you said something very true! My parents got lied to many years ago trying to get me a first communion gift. They picked a necklace with an angel pendant. My parents already knew they wanted to get me 14k. And the lady who helped them sold them a gold bonded 14k pendant with a 14k solid chain. They didn’t know that until I looked at the markings carefully and then realized that the pendant is in fact gold bonded. Under the sunlight I can see fading areas of the pendant. But the chain never faded. So yes! To many crooks mixing different things and tricking people! Very well said!
Thanks for content and ideas. I'm using sigma detector as acids are little bit messy.
In Italy precious items need to have a stamp which tells you how what karat gold or silver, platinum ecc is + a producer stamp released by the local commissioner after a background check. This second stamp tells you exactly who is responsable for the quality of the precious metal. In fact if you see 750 (which stands for 18k) on a gold chain it's usually going to be at least 780 because the producer doesn't want to risk.
Yes but I find bunk stamps on gold at times too
Great video!
Big thanks to the man in the video
I am an English teacher in Taiwan and I think I need to make a similar video to educate my fellow Taiwanese coz they usually learned English in a cheaper but useless way and said I charge too much......
crooks prices VS fair prices battle
"these are the standards, the secrets believe me im keeping for myself"
When your testing and doing the scratch part like you did you scratch 3 lines would that part scratch the jewelry?
Now I want to know the secrets of the jewelers... ;)
Does the scraping of the gold destroy or scratch the chains?
I was just here to see if my guitar tuners were gold, but sheesh, I learned a lot from this guy's video. Def buying from him if I ever need Jewelry in the city
what is the name of the kit that you are using to test the gold?
THANKS FOR THE INFO BRO
@traxnyc would it be overkill if i bought that lil kit with me when i purchase jewelry?
You know who’s the real g in the jewelry business hey everybody sure up Johnny dang
isn't it better to use a spectrometer instead of acids?
Great video. Thanks.
Does the chain get all scratched up on the area u rubbed it on?
You forgot to stamp my ring, am never buying from you again!! LOL!
Is there any ways as opposed to using a chemistry kit when buying gold ?
Aye Trax you’re killing it Man, I just started watching your vids and you’ve given so much knowledge and it’s appreciated. How do you tell somethings gold plated or solid gold without drilling?? The acid only shows that the surfaces ct correct?
Put a magnet on it to see if it sticks.
Thanks for the education brother 💯💯👍👍😎
You taught me more than my school
I bought a gold plated silver bracelet in Mexico the stamp .925 should have been a dead giveaway but I didn’t know any better at the time. Knowledge is money
Good video bro 💯
Does this work on any type of chain like gold filled gold plated gold electroplated etc?
He is a real jewelry. Thank you so much
I understand pure gold is 24 kt. I have seen a lot of gold prospecting videos, and I've often wondered what is considered the normal kt for gold nuggets and gold dust taken from a stream {for instance}. I can't imagine they'd all be 24 kt, nor can I imagine 12kt being a normal kt. What is the most common kt for gold found in the wild?
I have had jsp acids were the 14k acid dissolves everything and had the understanding thats why you use the gold test needles or gold of known karat and compare the amount of time it takes to dissolve the gold.
So i went to those pawn shop and they tested my gold chain 14k , they only tested it with the 10k and 14k liquid and didn’t disappear and they told me that it was doing an effect and I said but it didn’t disappear the line is still there, and I said put the 18k liquid they didn’t want to, they say my chain it was less than 10k even though it didn’t disappear. They say because it was doing a burning effect. So what can you tell me about this please. Thank you..
Sharp guy, thanks
TRAX's got the best deal for the real REAL
Thank you for sharing these tips with us.
Just one question though.....other than buying jewellery from a reputable jewellers, is there a way of knowing if gold is genuine before handing your cash over?
I would just bring the kit with me and do it the following way. First you're looking for the piece of jewelry you really want and then give him or her the following deal. If you can do test and the results come in positive, then you make the purchase and the scratch doesn't make any difference. But if you find out that you have been misinformed, then you leave the store immediately because you never do business with those kind of people. They can take it or leave it, some deals are big numbers and just like buying a car. You need to test that thing out.
So happy you made this video because I have a question I wanted to ask for a long time: how to detect plated gold?
1. Check stamps, they're usually marked if it is plated
2. use a fairly powerful magnet. gold isn't magnetic, so if it sticks at all or there is some magnetic pull some other metal is on the inside
3. scratch really deep on a scratch test to break the plated layer. plating is usually fairly thin
4. if need be use wire cutters or something to snap the jewelry in half and pour a little bit of acid directly on the snap / use a razor to make a deep etch and pour acid directly on the cut
This is what we do at work to verify authenticity of anything we take in.
@@mateorichardson6084 and then what if all that damages a good piece ? is it repairable?
@@ummlittlemuslim yes u can have it fixed
Does scratching the gold mess it up? I wanna test mine
More blessings boss you are just a nice man more good luck
Good job people must careful. Thank you
It's true thst many, if not most jewellers are crooks. Years ago I brought a solid 18k gold stud earring to the local jeweler and wanted to buy a matching stud. The jeweler said he couldn't tell what size stud it was, he took it in the back room to measure it and returned with 2 identical earrings. When I left, the earrings matched but they seemed different than original pair. They were the same size, but they seemed lighter... but I shrugged it off, thinking I was imagining it. About 6 months later I brought in a pair of 18 k gold hoop earrings to be repaired. Only one was broken, but he instructed me to leave both earrings with him. When I picked them up, something about them seemed different. My husband couldn't tell, they looked some how different to me. Since this was the second time I felt the jewelry was different, we ended up bringing all the earrings to another jeweler for evaluation. We found that my 18k solid stud was now an 14k hollow earring, (as was the new match) and my 18k gold hoop earrings were now 14 k gold filled hoops. He did a great job making copies, but not perfect. I can't even imagine how much he is stealing swapping stones.
Super video thanks for sharing
I’d love to lay away a 22k chain. Coming at ya very soon buddy!
@TraxNYC Diamond Jewelry, how do you check the diamond karats?
Good work you the best
His tic-tacs are fun too
Everyone been to Atlanta and cop that fake gold big boy chain for the $20. A couple of months later it was looking like copper😂
I would purchase from this man
How do you know if piece is just gold overlay?
That's real talk about across the street, trust *no one* in the PM (precious metals) game.
Would the jewelers allow you to do the test at the jewelry shop before buying a piece of jewelry?
i think if you would say if it stand the test i will buy it,, and if the jeweler says no, then you have your anser;)
Thank you 😊
Listening to his voice and accent I think, "Monday, Tuesday, Thursday."
Many do not know about testing kits
Aloha from Hawaii 🌺🌺thank you for making this video Mahalo
Thank you!
Respect this video.
What it electroplated gold on different metal?
Very good video 💯💯💯
Whats the karat of the more yellow one
Thank you Very much, You talking from your Heart , MashaAllah, May Allah bless you, 😇🤲
what about harlembling i have a 14k gp 4mm franco from them
What I'm saying how would you know if it's 10 or 14 karat if both of the Aztec is showing positive
I have a chain that’s stamped ask what does that mean ?
You are good man.
Great video
I swear you played Yussi in Uncutgems
He always says “over there” throwing a horse shit of shade at the jewelers down the road
Plz advise where get that kit
thank brother very much
I told Vinny not to deal with the moulinyan. He didn't listen!
You should do a video on your thoughts about solid vs plated jewelry
It’s easy. They are both jewelry. Plated is costume jewelry, anything solid gold is a valuable investment piece. Gold is gold is money. US Constitution article 1 section 10. The founding fathers knew what’s up. Calculate the scrap value of the gold and that’s the minimum value of the jewelry. Design and craftsmanship add premium on top of that but not if you are going to sell to a scrapper. Gold plated has a negligible amount of gold so it is costume jewelry.
@@RedShiftedDollar No offence bro, but whatever's in the constitution of the US doesn't apply here. Gold is available all around the world, not just the US.
@@pugfugly1989 You missed my point. I referred to the reason why gold was included in the constitution and not the legal significance of its inclusion. Gold literally cannot be used to settle debts as described in the constitution anyways. But why did the founding fathers select gold out of all the monies they could have chosen instead? There are plenty of ways to settle debts including the way everybody settles them today. Gold was chosen because it is the best commodity money in the world. This is still true today which is why governments and central banks still hold it and continue to acquire more even though it is rarely used to settle any debts. It just sits there in guarded vaults. Why do governments do this with their useless rock collection? It seems kinda stupid doesn’t it? None of this has anything to do with the constitution.
@@RedShiftedDollar Useless rock collection? Guess you have no clue that gold has an intrinsic value as one of the most efficient conductors of electricity, and is therefor highly sought after for computer technology. And again, no one cares about the Founding Fathers, or what the US does. Nixon kicked you guys off the gold standard, which pretty much made everything you're talking about a moot point.
@@pugfugly1989 Silver is a better electrical conductor than gold and is only 25 bucks an ounce. Gold has industrial use, but the property you refer to is not enough to justify the 2k/oz price. Just buy silver if you want a conductor.
Yes, useless rock collection. Have you ever seen a central bank use gold for anything other than storing bricks of it in their basement? Sure there are uses, but bankers don't care about those. It's not like they are front-running the market for electrical contacts.
Gold's ability to sit and do nothing is actually its most valuable intrinsic property. This is what makes it good for long term storage and economic accounting.
And you still don't understand my reference to the constitution... It's not about the US. And besides, your country isn't on the gold standard either.
do you sell 24k gold chains?
Good shit 👏 👌
What are the secrets of the jewelry business? That’s the real question.
Also, what am I supposed to do, walk into stores and start scratching up all their chains? Lol
When you're testing gold with that disc how do you know you're just not rubbing off the plating and it's not real underneath when you test it
Sweet find. Love learning new things. So "on Amazon" its called gold acid testing kit?
Second thing I goto after a earth magnet test
How do you know that you aren't testing just the gold plating if it's fake ?
You could use a strong magnet to detect other metals
