This is an easy test, but it’s not an all-encompassing or fool-proof way to determine whether your gold is real. Something as weak as a fridge magnet will not be useful, but stronger magnets that you can find in specialized hardware stores or in common objects such as women’s purse latches, children’s toys, or even in old unused hard drives will be strong enough to perform this test.
Hold a magnet up to the item. Gold is not a magnetic metal, so if it pulls towards, or sticks to the magnet, it’s fake. However, just because it doesn’t react to the magnet doesn’t mean it is real, as non-magnetic metals are used in counterfeit pieces as well.

The first thing to do to check if you have real gold is to look at it. Look for particular signs that point to real gold.
Inspect the piece for official markings. A stamp will indicate either fineness (1-999 or .1-.999) or karat (10K, 14K, 18K, 22K or 24K). A magnifying glass will make this easier.
An older piece might not have a visible marking due to wear.
Counterfeit pieces can often have a marking that appears authentic; more testing may be needed either way.
2.Look for noticeable discoloration. It is important to check for discoloration in areas that face constant friction (typically around the edges).
If the gold seems to be wearing off and showing a different metal beneath it, you probably have a piece that is only gold plated.

Test Gold by Bite Test

We have all seen a movie where a prospector bites down on a piece of gold to test it. We also see Olympic athletes bite on their “gold” medal when they receive it. Whether that is of any use is another story altogether.
1.Bite down on your gold with moderate pressure.
2.Examine your gold for any markings. In theory, real gold will show indents from your teeth; deeper markings indicate purer gold.
This is actually not a recommended test, as you can damage your teeth. Not to mention that lead is even softer than gold and gold-plated lead will appear to be gold when you bite it.
