The short answer is no. Real 9K or more gold is not magnetic, nor is silver. If you find that ur ring or necklace is sticking to a magnet it is plated and is not real.

No. Copper is not attracted to a magnet.
Does real gold stick to magnet?
Gold is actually slightly repelled by a magnet, due to an effect called diamagnetism. Water, carbon, and bismuth are also repelled. Holding a strong magnet next to a thin stream of water shows this. A thin stream of molten gold would show the same effect.

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.
How to test if silver is silver?
Personally I check the Internet. But there is a trick which involves a magnet. What to do is touch the magnet to the silver [or vise versa]if it sticks it is most likely silver plated or a different metal all together but if it doesn't it there is a good chance that you have silver. I would recommend that if the magnet doesn't stick you should take it down to a jeweler and ask them to get a real verdict. The reason is because more metals actually don't stick to a magnet than metals that do.good luck
How do I tell my chain that's marked with CW is silver or gold looks gold but don't see 925 or 14k only CW?
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.

How can a jeweler tell a ring is solid gold?
Jewelers will use a couple of techniques to find if an item is real gold. The most reliable is a scratch test, they rub the item on a special block that reveals if it is genuine. The easiest way to tell is to put a strong magnet over it. Real gold is not magnetic at all. If there are fillers present it will stick to the magnet, or you will feel it pull towards the magnet.
How do you use a magnet to tell if something is 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.
