How can you tell if cufflinks are real gold?

How can you tell if cufflinks are real gold?
To tell if cufflinks are real gold, hold a magnet close to them. Gold isn't magnetic, so if you notice an attraction, your cufflinks are likely gold-plated or crafted out of another material finished in a way that makes it resemble gold. Hallmarks can also be an indication. Common markings that signify genuine gold include 14K, 18K, 585 and 750. If you're still not certain about the materials, a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can assist you. Explore a variety of gold cufflinks on 1stDibs.
