Indirectly, yes, if you use the process to separate gold from other metals, such as copper and silver. However, this process cannot be used to determine the karat value of gold, which is best done with karat needles, testing acid, and an Arkansas stone. Bleach oxidizes gold; the oxidized gold will then dissolve in the chlorine (use caution due to deadly chlorine gas), which turns yellow if only gold is present; green, if copper is present. Silver precipitates as white powder. This test actually works better if hydrochloric acid is used. Also, dissolved gold can be reclaimed: add, to the yellow liquid, zinc, which is more reactive than gold. The liquid will dissolve the zinc, and the gold will drop as brown powder. Copper will also drop as brown powder.

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.
