🔍 How do you know if gold is real or fake?
Check Magnet Functionality: Start by ensuring your neodymium magnet works. Test it on items like paper clips or nails.

Prepare the Gold: Clean your gold thoroughly to remove any dirt or grime that might affect the test.

Testing Process: Place the gold on a clean surface and approach it carefully with the magnet without touching it.

Magnetic Response: Genuine gold won't stick to the magnet—watch closely for that magic non-stick moment!

Interpret Results: If the magnet does stick, it might be a fake.
💡 What to Expect:
Is gold magnetic?
No, real gold is not magnetic.

Non-Magnetic Gold: Authentic gold will not be attracted to the magnet.

Magnetic Response: If the gold attracts the magnet, this suggests it may be fake or alloyed with magnetic metals.

💧 Post-Test Considerations: Clean your gold item to remove any residual magnetism or debris after testing. Gently polish with a soft cloth to maintain its shine.

📌 Remember: While helpful, the magnet test is not foolproof and may not detect all types of counterfeit gold. Some fake gold items contain copper, which doesn't stick to gold. Combine with other testing methods for accurate results.
