No, a metal must have iron in it to attract a magnet.
Fine gold is non-magnetic, so a magnet will not attract it. However, the clasp will stick to a magnet because of its small steel spring. Most fine items will also bear markings.
Gold is not magnetic, so a gold necklace will not be attracted or repelled by a magnet. Magnets only attract materials that are magnetic, such as iron or nickel.
No. Gold is not a magnetic substance.Well ... I guess if the sample is attracted to a magnet, then you've discovered that the sample is definitely not gold. That proof oughta be worth something.
The opposite of attract when referring to a magnet is repel.
Not really, pure gold is non-ferrous, meaning that it won't attract a magnet because there is no iron in it. That said, if a magnet sticks to something that you thought was gold, it would prove that it wasn't pure gold, and that it is either fake gold, gold plated, or gold alloyed with iron (if there is such a thing). At the same time, if a magnet doesn't stick to something you think is gold, it doesn't prove that it is gold, because there are many other metals that don't attract magnets either.

No. Magnets only attract iron.
Pure gold, silver, Mercury, steel, Aluminum and several others.
No, 9-carat gold should not attract a magnet because gold itself is not a magnetic metal. The presence of other metals in the alloy of 9-carat gold, such as copper and silver, may not have enough magnetic properties to make it noticeably attracted to a magnet.

what will not attract to a magnet
First of all, a magnet will attract some metals. Metals don't attract magnets. Since gold does not contain iron, it will not be attracted by a magnet. Common metals attracted by a magnet are: Iron, Steel, Nickel chromium, vanadium neodymium tin because all these metals have some iron mix in their contents to be more stable and usable. Common metals not attracted by magnetic fields: Gold, Silver, Platinum Titanium Tungsten Aluminum Copper Bronze Zinc Lead Mercury brass
Gold is a non-ferrous metal ,which means it won't attract the magnet. So, even if the item is slightly magnetic , but doesn't stick to magnet, then it's gold-plated. ... this is because some counterfeit pieces have another metals which are also not magnetic like silver inside.
