How do we grade gold?
Grading gold is eventful as it is a very complex process, which is a combination of exact science and creativity. Several factors play out to give accurate representation and worth.
Purity (Carats)
Classified by carats (24k is pure). 18k (75%) and 14k (58.3%) are common in jewelry, alloyed for strength.
Weight
Expressed in troy ounces (31.1 grams). Weight is the actual measure of gold content.
Craftsmanship
Design intricacy, workmanship quality, and precision of additional elements like gemstones.
Market Demands: Economic factors, geopolitical events, and consumer trends influence value. Prices often rise during economic instability.
Certification & Hallmarking: Certified pieces come with documentation verifying purity. Hallmarking involves stamping items with marks indicating purity, manufacturer, and assay office.
Our Goal
"Whether you are a seasoned investor or thinking about selling gold for the first time, we will ensure you have the best experience and a rewarding result."
Methods of Gold Authentication
Authentication is an important process for the jewelry industry, investors, and collectors.
Visual & Weight
Checking for grades (585, 750, 999). Gold is heavy (sg ~19.32 g/cm³); light items may be fake.
Magnetic Test
Gold is not magnetic. If it attracts to a strong magnet, it's an alloy with magnetic metals.
Acid Test
A reliable method. Reaction to specialized acid indicates purity. No reaction means authentic gold.
Spectral Analysis
Extremely precise X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis determines exact alloy composition.
Electronic Testers
Handheld devices verify conductivity to differentiate genuine gold from counterfeits.
Scratch Test
"Rock test". Scratching an inconspicuous spot to reveal if there's base metal under plating.
Lab Testing
Time-consuming but most accurate. Determines purity, history, and possible fakes.
Density Test
Measuring water displacement vs weight to calculate density and determine composition.
