No gold is non magnetic, but electromagnetism using a metal detector can. New designs differentiate ferrous metals like iron from nonmagnetic metals like gold, brass and copper.This known as ferro magnetism and dia magnetism. The detector has a meter or headphone signal to tell one from another.

Does 14kt gold over sterling silver look like genuine 14kt gold?
If you are referring to 14kt gold plating, then yes it will look like genuine 14kt gold. Gold plating is designed to produce the look of gold and it is very effective because it is a layer of real gold covering. There are a few ways you can determine if something is gold plated vs real, solid gold. #1: Use a magnet: Real gold is not magnetic. If your jewelry is attracted to the magnet, it is probably not real gold. #2: Do a visual inspection around the edges of the jewelry. If the jewelry has been worn a bit, the edges will usually wear the most. If the piece is merely gold plated, you will often see the underlying metal coming through.
