Many gold bracelets for sale in Australia look great, but the truth of the matter is that a lot of them use fillers or inferior carat counts. Why should you pay a premium price for something that only has real gold on the outside? Fraser Ross is offering gold bracelets with 100% precious metals, no fillers or plating, all at ridiculously awesome and affordable prices. So, how do you tell if the gold you've purchased is real or fake? Here at Fraser Ross, we're so sure of the quality of our jewellery that we're going to tell you the secret of how to spot plated or “filled” jewellery. The magnet test is one of the best ways to determine if your gold is real or not. Gold is not magnetic, so any necklace or bracelet containing lead and other fillers will be drawn to the magnet. Make sure the magnet you test with isn't weak like one off of your refrigerator. However, jewellers who sell fake jewellery are getting smarter, and some non-magnetic metals have been used as fillers, which is why you should try this next test. The density test is very useful in determining the quality and authenticity of your gold. You can use either a scale (your jeweller should have one), a vial of water (to measure the amount of water before and after), or both. Density and purity levels differ between the United States and Australia, so make sure you're using the Australian scale when checking your gold. You can also try using nitric acid to test your gold, but you must be cautious when doing so. Having your local jeweller do it is best because they're used to handling it. If there is no reaction when the acid is placed on the gold, you're dealing with the genuine article. Any other reaction indicates that an inferior metal or a different metal like sterling silver is present, in which case the gold would not be pure. Fraser Ross is dedicated to making sure you're satisfied with your purchase. If for any reason, you decide to return or exchange your jewellery piece, you can do it within the seven day guarantee period for a full refund or exchange value. No matter what you decide to do when it comes to your jewellery, you can trust the quality of Fraser Ross precious metal jewellery. Need help?
