Gold can be real even if it's not marked. Also, some items can not be real even if hallmarked 14 k, 10 k, etc. If there's money to be made, some people will try to dupe you out of it. If buying jewelry, and to a much lesser degree some bullion related coins, buyer beware. Note the quality and clarity of the hallmark. Gold testers are available but you must understand what you are doing ? Good luck and be careful.

Yes, 14k gold is real gold. The "k" stands for karat, which is a measure of the purity of gold. 14k gold is composed of 58.3% pure gold, with the remaining 41.7% made up of other metals such as copper or silver. This makes it a popular choice for jewelry due to its durability and affordability compared to higher karat gold.


Is 14k GE real or fake?

14k GE (gold electroplated) refers to a base metal that has been coated with a layer of 14-karat gold. While it contains real gold, the layer is typically very thin compared to solid 14k gold, which is made entirely of gold alloy. Therefore, 14k GE is considered "real" in the sense that it has genuine gold in its composition, but it's not as valuable or durable as solid 14k gold.
