Testing Gold Jewelry Many people are gathering scrap gold and broken jewelry to sell, but how can you tell if scrap or unmarked jewelry is 14K, 10K or maybe not gold at all, but rather plated? There are basically two different types of testing 'kits' on the market. One uses a solution - less expensive to purchase but more labor intensive to use, the other uses a gel with an electronic tester - easier to use but more costly to buy. Without trying to give you the process for each in detail, we've placed two YouTube videos below for your review. The first one is for the less expensive, more labor intensive method. The piece of equipment used in this case is the Mizar Gold Testing Kit . The second video uses the Tri-Electronic Gold Tester, GXL-24Pro. Once you've watched the video you'll see that this method is very easy.
