There are several ways to tell if a piece of Gucci jewelry is fake or not. If it is marked 'Made in China' it is a fake. It should have a serial number and say 'Made in Italy.' If not, it is fake. The only way to guarantee a real Gucci is to buy only from Gucci.
bite it and you will find out
Fake gold, or "fools gold" has a foul sulfur odor while real gold does not. Usually, you can rub the gold and sniff it to determine if it is real or fake.
When buying gold from a potentially unreliable source, it is important to check that the gold you are buying is real. It is always best to buy from a trusted jeweler or a retailer of gold and to have a certificate of authenticity. If you ever buy a piece of jewelry that appears to be gold but you are not sure, there are a variety of ways you can check. First, if you have a magnet, see if the piece of jewellery is attracted to the magnet. This is a sure fire way of telling if the gold is fake or not as gold is not a magnetic metal. Second, use a cleaning cloth and rub the gold. If the surface comes off to reveal another metal underneath then the gold is defiantly fake. Third, try wearing the gold for a day. If the gold rubs a green mark onto your skin then it is without doubt a fake. Next, check the jewelry for hallmarks. These should have the carat of the gold, though do be aware that they can be stamped in by people selling fake gold, so if it only contains a carat and nothing else, chances are the gold may be fake. A further test you can do is to feel the weight of the gold. There are heavier metals, such as platinum, but the jewellery should be fairly weighty when held. Next, look at the appearance of the gold. Is it slightly more orange in color? Is it particularly shiny in appearance? These are also tell-tale signs that the gold is a fake. In summary, there are many ways to tell if gold is fake or not, but the best thing that you can do is have the gold verified by a jeweler who will be able to give you a definitive answer as to the authenticity of the gold you have.
