Honey is not a reliable way to test gold. Most people use the scratch test and the acid test based on karats.
Gather up a lot of honey.Take it and the gold to a jeweler and say "Hey, I'll give you this honey if you test this gold."There isn't really any reliable chemical way to test gold with honey.
Apparently there is a way to test using honey if your piece turns green when placed in it, it is gold
Put what you think is gold in a jar of honey; if it turns green then it is gold ($). Don't worry if it turns green because the color will go away after an hour or two in warm water.
When dragged across a streak plate, gold will leave a yellow streak, pyrite will leave a greenish-black streak. It is one way of differentiating gold from pyrite.
Resorcinol is used to test honey to see if sugar has been added to the honey. After adding the solution of resorcinol to the honey boil it, if the mixture turns red it means sugar is added and the honey is not pure.
There is a special test to use to find that out. Put them in a glass of water and leave it there for 36 hours or more. If you take it out and scratch the "gold" part, it should NOT feel like sandpaper. If it does, it is not a real gold earring.
if the metal sinks in water is is proof it is gold
