Check the Gold Purity

The gold purity is measured in the Karat system with a 24 point-scale is considered as the highest value with 100% pure gold. Gold ornaments with 12 Karat considered as 50% pure and only gold bar and coin come with 24 carats i.e. 100% purity. The rest of the ornaments manufacture in 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, etc carat mixed with silver, copper, or iron to make it strong, tighten, and durable ornaments.

There are three ways to check the purity of gold before buying:

  • Acid Test
  • Electrical Conductivity
  • XRF Technology

First, the acid test is one simple way to test the purity of gold.

 The acid test kits typically come with multiple black touchstone and acid solutions. The expert gold tester rubs the black touchstone on gold which leaves a streak on the stone, and then it will make a parallel control streak using a piece of known gold which confirms the gold purity.

Second type, the gold jewelers used to identify the purity is electrical conductivity.

Jewelers use this technology to get the quality and purity of gold using specific
gel or liquid by creating a circuit between the device’s probe and gold.

Third test, the above two methods does not give more accurate purity of gold.

Attica Gold uses the XRF technology used German-made purity checking machine which shows the 100% accurate results with no loss of gold. This machine sends radiation through gold which X-ray fluorescence spectrometers (XRF) detects and reads to determine the quality and gold ornaments.
