Hello!

The quickest and simplest way would be to take it to a jeweler or pawn shop and get it checked.

However, another way is: make a light, tiny scratch on the item using a small nail file or similar rough object. Choose a spot that is not noticeable if you want to keep it's value. apply a small drop of nitric acid to the scratch (use a dropper if you have one)

If there is no reaction, then the piece is probably made from real gold

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Why were you able to see the effects of the magnetic fields using iron filings
zheka24 [161]

Interacting with a metal object in between the magnetic properties of the metal interact with the magnet, expressing signs of magnetic force acting on it and the metal, pulled together letting you see the see the effects of the magnetic fields using iron filings.
