One can tell if something is 24k gold by poking it with a sharp object. Gold is a soft metal, and the higher the karat the softer the metal, therefore if it makes a dent or leaves a mark, then the gold is 24k. Also, 24k gold is much more yellow, so, the color can help to identify 24k gold. And finally, bringing it to a jeweler to get it appraised will help to determine if it is 24k gold.

No such thing as 24K white gold. The two terms, white gold, and 24K contradict each other. 24K is pure gold, with no other metals present. White gold is a mix of gold and other metals, usually palladium, nickel, or zinc. If the gold contains any of those metals, it cannot be pure gold, so cannot be 24K. Sort of like dehydrated water- contradiction in terms.
