on the tag thing it says "made in korea" on one side and another it says "american showcase"

I have one, too. Did you find out if it was gold?

<quoted text> this is totally incorrect.. Gold is slightly attracted to a magnet, but cannot be made into a magnet.

Same story for silver, I just tried.

My granmother has a ring that is supposedly over 100 years old and it has a star and then a capital M. So it looks something like this,*M. I was wondering if anyone knew what this meant if anything?

Yes, it means that it was made at a factory located in the southern united states that stamps all of its manufactured jewelry with an "*" followed by the first letter of the month it was made. in this case, it wuold have been made in March or May. If it is 100 years old, then it would have been made in March or May 1909. Thanks.

Its fake. The only way to tell if gold is real is by the stamp 14k or 18k. No other test can verify for sure other than this. It is well known that romans wear bronze and/or silver, so thi is definitely fake. Thanks.

Geneva is a relatively inexpensive watch, so doubt its worth much. Very unlikely to be real gold.

If the jelwery is something you want to keep and cherish... dont read this and dont try it....

BUT...

If you are trying to sell your gold??

Gold has a chemical reaction to clorine.:)

and remeber 24 k gold is pure gold.. real.

18k gold is mixed with another metal etc.

SO if you purchased a 12k gold watch.. then duhhhh its not "just gold" ...

I have a gold necklace that has a yn engraved on the clasp. Does anyone know what this means.

The poster may no longer be here to read this, but a very simple way to tell if somehting is real gold is to put some foundation and face powder on the back of your hand and then rub the gold against it. If a black mark is left behind it is real gold. Real gold creates a chemical reaction with most makeup that fake gold will not.

Try using a paper clip, it has the same affect. This way is false. I

TAKE IT TO A JEWELER AND THEY CAN TEST IT FOR YOU. LOOK FOR ANY SPOTS WHERE THE GOLD MAY HAVE CHIPPED OFF AS AN INDICATION THE GOLD IS FAKE.

I have a gold pendant and it has little green diamonds around it with a picture of the queen it was passed down to me but it does not have a stamp or state anything on it how do i know if it is fake or maybe even real?

First, you may want to review its weight in grams since gold is better if it is heavier. This can also be sometimes much inexpensive than buying lighter ones.
Second is to check the karat markings, since all real gold are mark with its percentage of purity, the percentage begins to 10 to 24 karat gold.
Next, take a magnet test. If the magnet was unable to pull the gold then it means that you are on a reliable distributor.
Fourth will be the perfume test. It has been said that spraying a perfume on a gold jewelry would reveal its authenticity if it does not fade.
When worn, fake gold tends to leave green marks on the skin and eventually tarnish.
The final review for the product is the scratch test. This will reveal a fake or plated nugget just by scratching it.
