It has a gold chain and cross that it is gold and silver or white gold Jesus. can anyone help? This necklace was bought me one of my relatives and my knowledge that only the actual purchase of gold … is not false. thanks in advance.

The lack of a seal (10k, 14k, 18k, etc) is not indicative of whether your piece is gold or not. In the United States is against FTC regulations for the jeweler to hallmark a piece of jewelry unless it is accompanied the mark of a manufacturer. So, when I first started making jewelry and was not a trademark of mine, I seal my jewelry. Now that I have brand one, I stamped my jewelry with the appropriate metal seal and Maker's Mark me. A jeweler can not just look at a piece and tell you for sure if it is gold or not, the jeweler take a test to find out. To be exact scientfically a sample of the metal in question must be analyzed in a test lab, but the following two tests were used for years and often are sufficiently accurate for a craftsperson or the owner of the metal. To answer "Is it gold?": With a small file, a zero on an inconspicuous spot. Using rubber gloves, the use of wood, glass or plastic stick to apply a drop of nitric acid introduced to the place. Observe the reaction. When finished, rinse everything with water. If no reaction is gold. If there is a bright green reaction, it is the base metal. If Green is at zero, which is a layer of gold on base metals (goldplated). If there's a milky reaction in the scratch, is a layer of gold on silver. To answer "What Karat is? "Determining karat requires a testing kit containing nitric acid, aqua regia, samples of known karat, and a touchstone of slate or ceramic. The gold object of proof is rubbed on the stone ("touched") to leave a streak. A parallel line is made with one of the test pieces known carats. Both brands are flooded with acid and the reaction was observed. When the sample colors in the same proportion as the test run, a party been done. Nitric acid is used for low karat gold, aqua regia is needed for higher karats. Note: These tests are only for your information. They are not accurate enough to rely upon when representing a piece for sale. Most jewelers have testing kits to use to determine if something is gold or not and approximate carat. It's probably easier to take the goods to a jeweler who set the test yourself kits.
