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.
Yes..
Yes because if the piece of jewelery were real, then the magnet will work and the piece of jewelery will be attached to the magnet. So yes.
I heard that if you use a magnet and it's attracted strongly to the metal then is's not real gold?
You can't use a magnet to determine if something IS gold. However, if the specimen reacts to the magnet is is certainly NOT gold.
No . It doesn't. Loser.
Place your gold jewelry near a magnet. Real gold is not magnetic; if your jewelry pulls toward the magnet, it is fake.

You can tell if a ring is real gold or not by putting it near a magnet. If the ring is attracted to the magnet it is not real gold, real gold is not magnetic at all.
fake gold, nope it's custom jewelry
It's fine as long as the item is properly marked and listed as not real gold.
Well, silver and gold aren't magnetic. It's a start, but this isn't a definitive test for metal content.
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.
One way to make sure your gold or silver jewelry is real is to place it in a bowl of water. If the jewelry sinks, it is real. If it floats, it is most likely fake. Real silver and gold will not react when placed near a magnet.
If a piece of gold jewelry is marked Korea does that mean it is not real gold?
