Test 1
Get a container big enough to hold both the water and the gold you’d like to test. The water temperature you use doesn’t really matter, so lukewarm water is fine. Real gold is a dense metal, so it falls directly to the bottom of the jug. Imitation gold is much lighter and floats.
Test 2
Note any discolorations on your skin from wearing or holding the gold
Test3
Hold a strong magnet up to see if the gold sticks to it
Test 4
Look for BIS Hallmark
