Real or Fake?

April 30, 2012 by: January Thomas

Tip for the Day:
Here is a quick and easy way to tell if your gold is real – Grab a magnet, if the piece attracts the magnet, its fake.
Same goes for sterling silver as well.
Real gold and sterling silver will not attract to the magnet.

Oh no he didn’t! Exes exposed gifting fake gold

September 24, 2010 by: January Thomas

Imagine bringing a once-treasured piece of jewelry to My Gold Party only to find out it’s fake. Unfortunately, it happens quite often.

I’ve tested many pieces of gold and discovered they were only gold plated, or worse, not gold at all.

I remember one episode in particular. I hosted a party for friends from college and one brought a ring from her ex boyfriend that turned out to be less than authentic. Telling her was awkward indeed, especially since I knew the guy who gave it to her.

If you are in doubt as to whether a piece of gold is real, there are ways to tell.

  • Inspect high-friction areas for discoloration. If there are areas where the gold has rubbed off, it is plated.
  • Hold it up to a magnet. Gold is not magnetic, so if it sticks, it’s fake.
  • Look for stampings. By American standards, fake gold is anything less than 10k.
  • Send it to My Gold Party. We’ll do the testing for you. If your piece turns out not to be gold, we can always send it back.

Gold-Plated…

Gold as currency, gold as cash

July 28, 2010 by: January Thomas

The appeal of gold is obvious. Its bright yellow color and shiny luster have been considered dazzling since the dawn of civilization. It’s also the most malleable and ductile pure metal known to man and doesn’t oxidize in air or water.

Gold has served as a symbol of wealth throughout history. As such, many countries have tied their currency to a “gold standard,” meaning all its currency is backed by reserves of pure gold bricks.

However, the amount of gold in the world is finite and production has not grown in relation to the world’s economies. Most countries, including the U.S., have gone off the gold standard, because there just isn’t enough of it to back all our currency.

All these factors have created the perfect storm for those wanting to sell their gold. The price of gold has nearly doubled just in the last five years. So, now is the time to get rid of any gold jewelry that you don’t either wear or want to keep for sentimental value.

The good news is that it’s easy and fun to sell your gold and platinum jewelry. My Gold Party has local reps ready to help you throw your own home gold party. You supply the guests and the old gold jewelry, and you’ll all go home a little richer. Just for selling the gold jewelry you’re never going to wear again anyway!

Just go to MyGoldParty.com to learn more about how to host your own gold party or become a My Gold Party rep.

(Real) Gold Jewelry

June 9, 2010 by: January Thomas

Tip for the Day:

Contemplating selling your gold jewelry? Are you wondering if any of it is even real? (Almost all of our customers come with pieces they just aren’t sure about.) Here are a few things you can do at home to check if you jewelry is real or fake: (By “fake” I of course mean Costume Jewelry!)

1.  Magnet test – Does your chain/ring/bracelet stick to a magnet? If so – it isn’t real gold.

2.  Check the stamping/markings – Look at the inside of your ring, clasp of your bracelet/necklace…Does it say “14k” or “10k” If so – chances are you are looking at a real piece of gold.

3.  Plated markings – Here are some classic stampings which can be stamped on your jewelry to indicate they are gold-plated (not real gold, they just have a thin layer of gold on top of a non-gold metal.)  “14K HGE”  or “14K HG” or “14K GP” or “14K GF” The Karat can range (for example 10k, 18k, etc.)

    Please do not hesitate to bring these items to the party. We will evaluate and test any piece! To book a home gold party in your area please visit our website www.mygoldparty.com for the closest rep. (Or simply click here.)
