Best way to find out is to take it to your local Jeweller. Just because a chain is not stamped does not it is not real. Some of the more feminine and delicate chains are too small to have a marking on them but that doesn't mean it's fake. Most chains both silver and gold typically have a stamped Karat amount on them, some don't. One test you can try at home is see if the chain sticks to a magnet. Don't do it on the clasp as that always has alloys in it, use it on the chain itself along the links. If it doesn't attract to the magnet it's real gold. If it does attract chance's are it's alloy which is a fancy word for metals.
Ultimately though, your best idea is let a jeweller test it as they do an acid test on it or a gold reading with a machine.

How did Fool's Gold get its name?
AnswerBecause Fool's Gold (iron pyrite) looks like gold, but it is not real gold. It fools the finder into thinking he has found real gold. A fool will persist in thinking it is gold even when it is proven that it is not real gold.For more information about Fool's Gold, See Related links below this box.On the lighter side:Some poor prospector thought he had gold, due to the shiny gold appearance of the pyrite he discovered. When he took it to the assay office, the assayer said "You have been fooled by the gold like appearance of this mineral, which is actually called 'pyrite'." Henceforth, the assayer ridiculed hundreds of subsequent prospectors with the exclamation of "Fool's Gold!" sometimes in jest, and sometimes in earnest, but always in vague reference to the suspected intelligence of its target. Pyrite thus became the only mineral to be associated with fools and the perpetration of foolishness.
What are two ways to tell fools gold from real gold?
Pyrite will usually break along crystal faces so it tends to be very blocky looking like tiny dice. Gold will look either rounded or sometimes flat. If the grains are large enuf to see with a good magnifying glass that is the easiest way. Fools Gold - or pyrite is quite brittle - gold is quite sofy and maleable (bends easily)using a magnifying glass look closely at the grains and poken them with a needle or other simmilar sharp object, and gently poke the grains. If the grain dents / squishes or mushes - you have gold - if the grain shatters or breaks into tiny squarish chunks - you have fools gold. The melting temperatures are also quite different. Gold will melt under a gentle flame - pyrite will not.

How do you know is your gold chain is real or not?
