How can you tell if jewelry is real gold?
Posted on April 2nd, 2010 by admin
I inherited my grandmother’s jewelry. Some of it is very obviously costume jewelry but other pieces look like they may be gold. How can you know (without going to a jeweler) if something is gold, gold filled, gold plated etc? Is "gold filled" valuable?
look from karat rating on the jewelry, or go to a gold buyer and ask him/her it takes them about 1/4 or a nanosecond to find out if it is real.
