HOW WE TEST & EXAMINE PLATINUM, GOLD & SILVER

When you come in with your Platinum, Gold, & Silver Jewelry, an Experienced Precious Metal Purchasing Professional will sit down with you and Examine each Piece of Jewelry/Stone carefully using State of the Art Technology. Each Piece of Metal is Tested using an Electronic Tester that Measures the Type of Precious Metal & Karat Weight of the Gold.
ELECTRONIC METAL TEST
When we test your Platinum, Gold or Silver Items, we use an Electronic Metal Tester. This machine verifies the validity of the Platinum, Gold & Silver item and also provides the true quality of the item. This tester sends a small electrical charge to the item and measures its level of resistance with an advanced sensor.
VISUAL INSPECTION
Our Precious Metal Buyers have been trained to look for the Hallmark Stamp which notates what type of Precious Metal and also the quality of the Metal such as 14K/18K for Gold. The maker of the Platinum, Gold & Silver items place the Hallmark stamp on the piece to notate what quality of Precious Metal was used to create the piece. Counterfeit items can also have this stamp, hence the reason for testing with an electronic tester or acid testing.
ACID TEST
Another method of testing Precious Metal is the acid test. This is normally reserved to be used on strictly scrap Platinum, Gold, and Silver. Our Precious Metal Buyers will not use this method to test items if they have any aesthetic value. To perform this test, our Precious Metal Buyer will make a light, tiny scratch on the item using a small file. Then acid is applied to the file mark, if real Precious Metal, no chemical reaction occurs. However, acid does react to other common Metal Alloys and we can then tell if the item is solid Platinum, Gold, Silver or not.
MAGNETIZATION TEST
The magnet test is also a good, simple test to determine if Platinum or Gold is real or fake. If your Platinum or Gold item is attracted to a magnet, generally it is not real Platinum or Gold as Platinum and Gold is not magnetic. However, this doesn't mean that there is no Platinum or Gold in your item as Platinum can contain cobalt which is magnetic but that it is not pure Platinum or High Quality Gold.
