What are two methods you can use to differentiate between real gold and fools gold?
Two methods to tell real gold from fools gold are:Rub the piece of gold against a piece of unglazed ceramic material. If it is real, it will leave a golden mark while fools gold will leave a black mark.Apply nitric acid to the gold. If it dissolves, then it is obviously fake, as real gold cannot be dissolved in nitric acid.
What does gold plus nitric acid yield to?
Just gold and nitric acid. Gold's impervious to nitric acid.
How could you decide if the ring was 24 karat or 14 karat without damaging it?
In testing for gold, the equipment you need includes a black stone slab, testing needles of different karats and colors, a bottle of nitric acid, one of aqua regia, and a bottle each of diluted nitric acid and aqua regia.The first step in the testing procedure is to file a deep notch in the piece. Apply a drop of nitric acid to the notch. A bright green reaction indicates plated gold, while a pinkish cream color indicates gold plate on silver. Ten-karat solid gold will show a slight reaction. Over 10 karat will show little or no reaction.To find the karat, file a clean spot on the article. Rub this spot on the stone slab, making a distinct mark. Alongside it make a mark that is equally heavy, using a test needle nearest in karat and color to what you suppose the gold to be. Apply acid to both markings at the same time. Use nitric acid to 10 karat and less, and aqua regia for higher karats. If the test needle marking reacts sooner than the other, wipe the stone dry and retest with a higher karat needle. If the reaction is slower, try a lower karat needle. When you have matched the two reactions, you will have determined the karat

How can you test your silver?
Well, the best way to test your silver is with silver acid, if in the acid test come very color red it is silver. But you can test with 18k acid for testing gold metal, if in the stone the line change blue color it is silver. But if you put silver acid in other white metal can be white gold and you see the line in the stone change yellow their have yellow gold inside or if it is red it is copper ! Wake up ! can be mix copper, yellow gold with Rhodium Plated. that in today's market their call commun artificial white gold plated! Sincerely: Profectional jewelry's!
What does a 10K Mex on a bracelet means?
I ran into a marking on a bracelet and it was stamped, "10K Mex". I tested that particular pracelet using the acid test and here are the results; When a 14K and/or 18K and/or 22K acid is applied on a scratched sample using the testing stone (the ruselt) = The sample vanishes immedietely When a 10K acid is applied on a scratched sample usig the testing stone (the ruselt) =The sample vanishes gradually leaving a trace of Gold. Conclusion: The pracelet contains less than 41.7% gold and hence it is less than 10k. Any piece of jewelry which is less than 10K, its not considered Gold in the USA.
