Question: Over 100 year old western European gold heart necklace with a dot in the center...help?
Okay so my grandma gave me a necklace that was her grandmother's and it's over 100 years old. I'm not sure if it's Swiss, Austrian, or German though. I don't have a picture of it but it's a little smaller than an inch, it's a gold heart with a metal dot in the middle kind of engraved in it. It seems like it could be a locket but it's not and the chain is gold and the links are like mini rectangles and delecate. I know that's super vague, but maybe if theres an antique expert or someone with a necklace like it out there who can tell me where to find ones like it or more about it that be great..and please no stupid answers!

I don't think that you can tell it by magnet. I think you can tell between a real gold necklace and the fake is by their color of the gold. If the fake one, the color is yellow, but i'ts not that yellow combined with the real gold.

Answer: The piece you are looking at is hallmarked--I4k Italy--and ...
The piece you are looking at is hallmarked--I4k Italy--and in a perfect world where everyone was honest that would be enough to tell you that the piece is "real." However, it's not a perfect world. The lack of a hallmark (10k, 14k, 18k etc.) is not indicative of whether your piece is gold or not. In the United States it is against the FTC's regulations for the jeweler to hallmark a piece of jewelry unless it is accompanied by a maker's mark. So, when I first began making jewelry and did not have a trademark ofown, I did not hallmarkjewelry. Now that I have a maker's mark, I hallmarkjewelry with the appropriate metal hallmark andmaker's mark. Neither a jeweler nor a buyer can just look at a piece and tell you for certain whether it is gold or not; the jeweler will do a test to determine it. To be scientfically accurate a sample of the metal in question must be assayed in a testing laboratory, but the following two tests have been used for many years and often are sufficiently accurate for a craftsperson or the owner of the metal in question. To answer "Is It Gold?": With a small file, make a scratch in an inconspicuous spot. While wearing rubber gloves, use a wooden, glass or plastic stick to apply a drop of nitric acid to the filed spot. Observe the reaction. When done, rinse everything well in running water. If there is no reaction, it's gold. If there's a bright green reaction, it's base metal. If there's green in the scratch, it's a gold layer over base metal (goldplate). If there's a milky reaction in the scratch, it's a gold layer over silver. To answer "What Karat Is It?" 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 to be tested is rubbed on the stone ("touched") to leave a streak. A parallel line is made with one of the test pieces of known karat. Both marks are flooded with acid and the reaction are observed. When the sample colors at the same rate as the test streak, a match has been made. Nitric acid is used for low karat golds; aqua regia is needed for higher karats. Please note: these tests are for your information only. They are not accurate enough to rely upon when representing a piece for sale. Most jewelers have testing kits to use when determining if something is gold or not and its approximate karat. It is probably easiest to take the item to a jeweler than to set up the testing kits yourself. Good luck. Source(s): http://www.jewelry-design-gemstone.com...
