Real Gold is almost always stamped 10K, 14K, 18K. Fake gold has a slightly different color than real gold. There are different kinds of fake gold. Vermeil is 18K gold dipped around sterling silver. Eventually the gold rubs off. Then there is gold fill which also has some real gold mixed with other alloys so it doesn't rub off. Every type of K in real gold looks different too. 10K looks different form 14K.

here's a great answer....it depends... if the primary element is iron....then yes...it will....but the primary element can vary....which will then mean...no... pyrite (p?'r?t) or iron pyrites (p?r?'t?z, p??, p?'r?ts) , pale brass-yellow mineral, the bisulfide of iron, FeS2. It occurs most commonly in crystals (belonging to the isometric system and usually in the form of cubes and pyritohedrons) but is also found in massive, granular, and stalactite form. In spite of its nickname, ?fool's gold,? it often is associated with true gold; auriferous pyrite is a commercially important source of gold. Other metals that sometimes replace a part of the iron are cobalt, nickel, arsenic, and copper. The most common sulfide mineral, pyrite is widely distributed in rocks of all ages and types. Its chief use is as a source of sulfur in the manufacture of sulfuric acid. The term pyrites is applied to any of a number of metallic sulfides that strike fire with steel. Some minerals resembling pyrite in appearance or composition are arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite (copper pyrites), cobaltite, marcasite (white iron pyrites or spear pyrites), and pyrrhotite (magnetic pyrites).
