How to Test Gold at Home With Toothpaste
🌟 What You Will Need
A small tube of non-gel white toothpaste (avoid colored or gel-based kinds)
Soft white towel

🔍 Step-by-Step Guide :

1. Apply Toothpaste: Take a small amount of white toothpaste and apply it to your gold item.

2. Rub Gently: Gently rub your gold against a clean white cotton towel for about 30 seconds.

3. Observe Results: Real gold will leave a dark streak on the white towel, whereas fake gold won’t cause any discoloration.

🛑 Important Tips: Use white toothpaste without any added colors or particles for the most accurate results. Avoid using this method on gold items with delicate gemstones or pearls, as toothpaste may scratch or damage them.

💡Interpret the Result : How to recognize real gold:

No Discoloration on the White Towel: Indicates the gold is fake.

Dark Streak on the White Towel: Suggests the item is likely real gold.

💧 Post-Test Care: After testing, rinse and dry your gold thoroughly. Polish it with a jewelry cloth to maintain its shine.

📌 Toothpaste is a quick and easy method to spot fake gold, but it may not provide definitive results. Thick gold-plated items may show the same results as pure gold. It is recommended that you consider using multiple gold testing methods for better accuracy.
Or if you want to be 100% sure, it is best to consult a professional jeweler.
