How can you tell if a 14K gold necklace is real?

How can you tell if a 14K gold necklace is real?
To tell if a 14K gold necklace is real, place a magnet on it. If you notice a strong attraction, the piece is unlikely to be genuine 14-karat gold because the gold alloy is not magnetic. A certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can also help you assess whether your piece is real gold. Find a wide variety of gold necklaces on 1stDibs.
