∙ 11y agoEasy way to test gold jewelry is very simple. You just need face powder for make up and rub it on your skin. Following, rub the gold jewelry to same spot on your skin. Once you apply enough friction on your skin, color will change to black at the spot where you applied on your skin. It indicates that your metal is gold.
