  1. False gold imitation materials are generally copper or iron.
    The salt is added in a glass of water, and its main ingredient is sodium chloride (NaCl).
    Copper: There is no reaction to soak in salt water for a short time. The chemical properties of copper are stable and will not respond to saline.

    2, measured the proportion
    Prome the weight of a pure gold with an balance, and then put the gold in a measuring cup and flood the gold. Then put the detected gold in a measuring cup, and observe whether the scale of the water rises or decreases. As long as it changes, it means that the gold is not pure gold. But if it is gold jewelry, this method is not applicable because there is air in gold jewelry.
    3, real gold is not afraid of fire refining
    This to burn the gold on the fire for a while to observe its changes.

However, this method may be destroyed to jewelry.
