1, different colors
People often can't easily tell the difference between white 18k gold and silver. In fact, their colors are different. When we put 18k gold and silver together, we can clearly see that the color of silver is white and the texture is very delicate. 18k gold is white and grayish white. We can distinguish these two colors with the naked eye. Secondly, the hardness of 18k gold is higher than that of silver and it is very easy to deform, while 18k gold is not.
2, the process is different
We can easily tell the difference between 18k gold necklace and fake 18k gold necklace from the craft. Putting the real 18k gold necklace together, we can intuitively feel that the design of the real 18k gold necklace is more exquisite and the technology is very detailed, while the technology of the fake 18k gold necklace is very rough and the color is very good.
3. Different seals
18K gold has its own exclusive seal. In China, 18K gold is usually marked as G 18K, 18K or 750, and 18K gold ornaments sold in formal channels in China all have seals. It would be great if the 18K gold necklace purchased does not have such a seal.
4. Different after-sales services
The 18K gold necklace we bought belongs to gold jewelry, so regular jewelers have professional after-sales service, which can provide services such as cleaning, polishing, welding and gilding. Now many jewelry stores also offer trade-in services. If you are not satisfied with the style, you can buy other styles, just supplement the difference in weight and the corresponding labor costs. If you buy a fake 18K gold necklace, none of these services exist.
With the above knowledge, you can simply distinguish the authenticity of 18K gold necklace. Of course, it is not easy to buy fake 18K gold necklaces in formal channels.
