I just sold an item that is 14K solid gold and the buyer said it isn't because it sticks to a magnet. Can you test to see if something is real gold by using a magnet or is she trying to cheat me?
Pure gold is not magnetic. The less-than-pure 14K gold is often created by taking pure gold (24K) and alloying it with silver and copper to give it the hardness or lustre that the maker wants. But combinations of gold, silver and copper aren't magnetic. Testing gold with a magnet will tell if iron or other ferromagnetic material is alloyed with the gold, but if the magnet does not pick up the gold item being tested, we know nothing more about that gold. Some gold is alloyed with nickel, and nickel is magnetic. As we don't know what item was sold and because we can't know how the 14K gold was made, we can't tell much else from the question. A gold and nickel alloy will respond to a magnet. But what can be told from this? Only that the magnet is reacting to a ferromagnetic material. And that is all.
