Are my Items Gold, Silver or Platinum?
1. Inspecting Your Item for Hallmarks: Hallmarks, also known as assay or standard markings, are special stamps found on gold, silver, and platinum items. These markings indicate the purity of the metal and often provide additional information such as the maker’s mark, the location of testing, the year, and even the designer.
Hallmarks can be located in various places depending on the type of item:
Rings: Inside the band
Necklaces or bracelets: On a tag near the clasp
Coins: Usually on the front face
To see the hallmarks clearly, a magnifying glass is often helpful. Checking for hallmarks ensures that your items are accurately identified and valued before selling.
2. Use a Magnet to Test Your Items: Another way to check your gold, silver, and platinum items is with the magnet test. While a standard refrigerator magnet may be too weak, a stronger magnet from your local hardware store works best. Here’s how to perform the test: Hold the magnet close to your item.
Gold, silver, and platinum are not magnetic. If the magnet sticks to your item, it likely does not contain solid precious metals. Keep in mind, some items like chains may have a magnetic clasp even if the chain itself is real.
Even if your item passes the magnet test, it’s still important to have it professionally tested by our expert jewelers. Counterfeit and costume jewelry can be made from non-magnetic metals, so professional verification ensures you get an accurate value.
2. Confirm the Purity of Your Precious Metals: When selling gold or silver, knowing the purity of your items is essential. Gold-filled pieces often include a karat number along with “GF” or “GP” markings, while solid gold, silver, and platinum require professional testing to confirm their true value.
At Sell-Your-Gold-and-Silver, our trained experts perform acid tests and other professional assessments to determine the exact purity of your metals. Purity is a key factor in determining the value of your gold, silver, and platinum, so accurate testing ensures you receive the best possible price.
Don’t worry if you can’t locate markings or if DIY tests seem confusing—you don’t need to be an expert. We’ve made selling your precious metals easy and secure. All testing is done for free at our facility, and we’ll guide you every step of the way.
