Is the gold store free of charge
Gold store identification of gold is not necessarily free.
If you go to the gold shop where you identify gold and the gold shop where you buy gold are different, you generally have to charge. However, the charge also depends on the situation. If you just let the service staff at the counter look at it for you, you generally don't need to charge if you don't need to use any instruments, but you have to charge as long as you use the instruments. There is no doubt that the service staff at the counter can judge whether the gold is true or false. After all, they sell gold, so they must understand the knowledge of gold, and sometimes they need to tell the guests the identification method of true or false gold.
Does the gold shop charge for identifying gold
If you need a very accurate instrument to identify, it is generally charged.
For the purchase of gold jewelry, we generally believe in big brands, but the price of big brands is also out of reach. The gold jewelry bought from some not very famous brand stores makes people doubt the authenticity of gold. They may be fooled by the shopping guide in the store, but they will worry about this and that after they buy it. Most people may have encountered this situation, so it is necessary to identify gold.
How to go to the gold store to identify gold for free
You can go to the gold store in the name of trying to sell jewelry. The gold store will carefully identify the authenticity and purity of gold for you first, but it mainly depends on whether you have thick skin. After all, if people have done a set of tests, but you say you don't sell, the scene is still very embarrassing.
Identification method of true and false gold
1. Check the official logo of gold. They are generally engraved with 999 or 990, or 10K, 18K, 22K, 24K. Less than 10k is not considered because the content of gold is too low. If you look with a magnifying glass, you will look more carefully.
2. Ancient gold jewelry will not have an obvious official purity mark.
3. Of course, fake gold jewelry will also have official signs, so it needs further inspection.
4. Look for obvious discoloration. Check the wear area on the gold surface, usually at the edge of the gold product, and check the discoloration there. If the gold color gradually disappears and becomes another color, the product is only a gold plating.
