Gold jewelry - how to tell if it is real or fake

remember are still in the old cowboy movies, when would the cowboy "bite" a piece of gold to see if it was real or fake? It seems that counterfeiters were already clever twisting their trade. Nothing since those times changed, and if indeed the counterfeiters their craft better, if otherwise nothing.

The truth of the matter is, that a fake gold coin could easily happen to test whether it was the "bite" lead coated with copper, nickel-plated so that it could then, so it could then be plated in gold. Fake jewelry is jewelry nothing new but if you buy gilt you love to do it something is off as 14 k not sold or passed 18 k.

Rule number is one that if buy a piece of solid gold jewelry from a legitimate source, assume, it's wrong, until you a jeweler views they have had. Just because it has a 14 k or k stamps on them nothing more means, because there is so much fake gold jewelry in circulation now.

The same rule applies to any kind of designer jewelry because virtually any type of jewelry designer is spoofed overseas now are. If you on City Road from someone, that on a 18 k, fake approached gold chain that still in the original jewelry box, virtually100% of the time it will.

The typical con is even a price tag on it and they will say that a friend of them recently stolen. Another common element, as the genuine article is sold fake rolex watches. It may come in a fake box but they are easy to recognize. This is because the second hand on a real Rolex "Sweeps", while the second hand on a fake with a "tick" will move.
