Discover our few tips.<\/span><\/p><h4><strong>How to recognize gold jewellery?<\/strong><\/h4><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The hallmark is a first good way to recognize a gold jewel as well as its carat. Indeed, the purity of a gold object is defined by a hallmark and depending on it, you can obtain its carat.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is the carat? The carat is a measure of purity that will tell you about the alloy of a jewel. All official brand jewellery is marked with a hallmark that provides information on the number of carats in it. Pure gold is 24 carat, 18 carat gold contains 18 out of 24 parts gold, and is therefore 75% gold or 750 thousandths of gold.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For gold, you will find the eagle&#8217;s head or owl hallmark for 18 carat, the clover for 14 carat and the for 9 carat. The Minerva head hallmark indicates that an object is made of silver.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are also professional gold metal recognition techniques that will let you know if you are dealing with gold jewellery or if it is gold plated. You will also get precisely the carat of your object.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can use other methods to recognize gold jewellery from gold-plated jewellery such as the magnetic test, biting the jewellery, or the ceramic test.
