Look down. Is there gold there? There you go. Hahaha... Just kidding. Seriously though:
Gold has many properties different from other metals and alloys. It is heavier than many of the common metals so weight can be a good indicator. Gold is also highly maleable and conductive.
If you want to be sure you can do research into the properties of gold and come up with your own tests to determine if the properties of your jewelry match those of gold. If that fails, you may consider taking the item to a certified jeweler or assayer (for those out west) who can tell you exactly what it is.
