Is antique gold real gold?

Antique gold is as real as contemporary gold. Pure gold is 24-karats, though few pieces of jewelry are actually made completely of 24-karat gold because it's extremely soft. 14-karat and 18-karat gold jewelry is usually mixed with alloy to make the piece a bit more durable.

How can you tell if a gold bracelet is real gold?

To tell if a gold bracelet is real gold, examine it closely, looking for purity hallmarks. On real gold jewelry, you will typically find either a number positioned before the letter “K,” which means karats, or a three-digit number that corresponds to the purity. The most common three-digit markings are “750” for 18-karat gold and “585” for 14-karat gold. The magnet test can also help you assess the materials of your bracelet. If a magnet sticks to the metal, your bracelet is likely either gold-plated or constructed out of a different metal. For further assistance, use the services of a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler. Find a wide range of gold bracelets on 1stDibs.
