Need to check 24k gold. How should I do that?
Try looking at the marking stamps. On your jewelry or gold coin, you will see a mark indicating ‘24K’ or ‘999.’ This indicates 99.9% purity. All the jewellers in India are required by law to hallmark genuine items.
Now if you want to check 24k Gold at home, you can perform some basic at-home tests including the magnet test. If you have real gold, it won’t respond to the magnet.
If you are investing in 24k gold or are planning to resell it, get a proper hallmark certificate and professional third-party testing. While visual inspection and basic tests are useful for an initial check, only certified hallmarking guarantees authenticity.
Cheers mate!
