Damn she just wanted it resized, you didn't have to expose her lol
:') They have to, I think, so that the client doesn't come back and claim that they changed her ring and kept the real gold.
Pretty sure you cant resize a ring easily if its not made of actual gold
@@WittleSofi actually you can size silver, I’ve had few of mine that are silver resized…..
Lmfao!!!! Hahaha
@@lynnburton7873 fair enough, i was told i couldnt because it was only a thin gold layer on my ring
customer: wants it resized
employees: *let’s test it*
He has to know what he's using if it needs to be bigger! Duh!!!
They do this because some people will bring in fake rings and asked for them to be resized the the customer will accuse of switching the ring out and maybe even try to sue them
@@mawi1172 It's a joke
@@kfcchicken496 no, it's not
@@KhasiXChakuin yes it is
(Irrelevant question) Why do jewelers use metal tweezers to hold and show off diamonds? I'd feel like silicone tipped tweezers would do a better job.
Diamond is a insanely hard, and those tweezers won’t be able to scratch or even chip it
There’s not really one reason, but a few things to note are silicone “looks” cheaper than stainless steel. Also, light reflects off the steel better, allowing more light to bounce around the diamond allowing it to sparkle. Also they’re just more durable, the last thing you’d want is to show off a diamond in a worn down, or scuffed material
@@illusionarydust you are right, but I think he just meant for getting a grip on the gem.
@@daggan1394 it's also easier to have those cuts in metal so that it makes sure the diamond is secure, rather than flat silicon
@@illusionarydust diamond is also really brittle
In America silver is typically less than 1 dollar per gram, and gold is worth almost 60 dollars per gram.

Y'all chill- I was just saying facts lmaoo, leave me alone. I don't use gold as a trinket to determine a mans worth tf?
1. I'd rather silver tbh haha
2. Not all people are like that, smh✋
Gold and silver price varies
@@snedz3029 yes but that depends on how much of it there is, I specified one gram, and I only said that to show the difference.
We're PAINFULLY aware! 🤢🤢🤢
@@snedz3029 yes, dear. That is correct. Many prices fluctuate. You're a fast learner! Huh?
@@mawi1172 You're*
So as a person who is a certified jeweler I could tell just by the look of the metal, don't get me wrong, I would still test it. However, that looked to be white gold and not your standard yellow, white gold will leave a silver colored scratch as it is a silver color.
Since you are a certified jeweler then I'm guessing you might have thought something else. I have a thought they were scammed by the jeweler that they bought the ring from. 2 key things jump out to me. It is gold but the jeweler knowingly printed the wrong thing on the band. I think that the ring is only 10k and not 14k. Since in the U.S. you can only sell as low as 10k and still be considered gold. Real simple to stamp the wrong thing. If it is 10k it should be stamped 414 instead of 585. Of course I'm talking about the purity. But please correct me if I messed anything up.
As a certified jeweler, does the test with chemicals that made it dissolve that apparently gold won't dissolve in stand true or were you too fixated on your bragging to watch the full video..?
@@Jason2425able10kt would be 416 and 585 refers to 14kt.
@@skepticpuma3222 As a certified troll where you to focused on finding someone to screw with to realize that I didn't say it was real, just that if it was it looked white and would leave a silver colored scratch. Also yes there is a specific acid used to test gold, silver, even platinum, and yes if it was not real gold or silver for instance it would disappear. Furthermore if it was actually 10kt gold vs 14kt which 585 stands for it could also disappear as there is a different strength acid for the different karats of gold.
@@ShastaMcNasty0226 okay I was a tiny bit off. Atleast I didn't screw up the numbers too much. I only just learned about the purity numbers.
Great video keep up good work for real..
No it isn't nitric acid definitely reacts with gold. I'm a gold Prospector and use it to test purity all the fucking time.
@@codyringer1857 ??????
Bro just stop with the robux scam
@Shxnestar_playz lol I was just about to say that
@spiderveins he's saying it's not "good work" because it's bullshit.
The diamonds are probably fake too... :o But it still a great ring, if you don't scratch it on a paper
Yeah no point in putting diamonds in silver lol. Plus the way they reflect makes me think they're CZ
Not all in silver are fake, js, I have a cpl pieces that are silver with diamonds in them, but yeah there is some that are fake
@@lynnburton7873amazing the people who don’t know this! Let them keep thinking that so I can continue to reap at yard sales and second hand stores…
My first thought would be "That looks very silvery for supposedly being gold. Maybe a trick of the camera but that immediately didn't look like gold.
Ye it's silver and theh were surprised it left a silver mark instead of a gold one 🤦♂️
White gold is an alloy, that doesn't too much look like the yellow golden colour. However that looks reeeally silvery for white gold. Those grades do exist for silver though, although this grade pretty uncommon, so we don't know where the malice is, either the goldsmith or the seller.
You know white gold exists, and is usually plated with rhodium the same as silver is anyway.
My science teacher was explaining how gold doesn’t react with nitric acid and to demonstrate, he put his gold engagement ring in nitric acid and said the whole thing would dissolve if it wasn’t real gold. He had never tested it before but luckily it was real 😂
Woah
That would have been a shame if it wasn’t real. Physically and emotionally
What an absolute baller 👌
Men get engagement rings?
@@stevewoods8116 wtf
Hey silver is still pretty cool tho
Silver is better than nothing lol
No, gold & diamond is cool. CZs and silver, NOT SO MUCH!
@@aubhiphiphot5306 silver IS nothing.
@@mawi1172 I mean it is something tho would you rather have a wedding ring made of silver if you couldn’t afford better or nothing?
@@aubhiphiphot5306 sterling silver would be better.
Silver is very very soft. So your finger will bend and warp it.
I had a silver ring I got from my grandpa when I was 10 and some earrings. I chose that. We knew he would die so i didn't want toys for my birthday.
Earrings? Still fine. The ring definetly not. The ring was only like 10 euros.
When you're walking around with your new ring and some guy asks you if u wanna be in a TH-cam video and he's holding a diamond tester.
"this customer wanted a resize so we scratched it up and recorded it-"
That's all you get from the video, sad
Imagine sending in your ring to get it resized and getting it back with him saying it's made of silver
This is quite unrelated but I just love it when you go gold shopping! It’s so magical with all the gold, glass and white LED lights surrounding you!
One big giant scam
Every goldsmith should have an XRF analyzer . Makes life easy
I wish we all had that kind of money 😂
I wish he used one, that ring was marked 14kt, and its white, so it could be white gold.
But instead of assuming that they assumed it was silver.
Both silver and white 14kt will disappear on that test
Gold doesn’t give up electrons or take them a lot, silver does a bit morre
@bofooit gojo silver is stamped 925 & 14kt is 585 & 417 means 10kt
I’m forgot that gold and silver can sometimes look alike so I was like “wow, jewelers with the power of two human eyes”
Does it really matter though? I mean, it's still a beautiful ring
I've like silver more than gold because it's so beautiful
Idk why I watch this stuff bc surgical steel is the better option in terms of my skin(eczema and mostly irritation). I work well with anything that isn't fake but surgical steel just feels so much better.
Imagine going for a reasize and instead getting painful truth
As a person who is experienced with gold, I can confirm he is right
But white gold is plated with rhodium, the scratch test removed the rhodium and thus melted during nitric testing. This method applies for yellow gold but not so much white.
@@EmbraceBLVN Actually, there is no such thing as white gold, other alloys are added to gold in order to make it white, when you rub it on the stone the mark will not be exactly white nor yellow it should be in between
Hence, when you use the acid the color should stay the same, if it turns red it's probably a weaker carat gold, if it disappears then it's not gold
Source?
@@epicexcalibur6445 Experience?
whew thank god we had you to corroborate. I wasn't gonna believe the video until I saw your comment.
"this proves it's silver, so does this test"
"So it's....?"
"It's silver."
Me: -wearing gold and diamond chain -
Him: -takes the tester and and walks my way -
Me: SEE THAT PERSON, WE ARE WALKING THE OTHER WAY
You scratched her ring without her permission like she just wanted it resized.
she should do some complaints
I'd be fine with even a *silver* ring as long as the person I'd be in love with was happy and If I was to
Sorry I mixed up platinum with silver ;-;
XD
@@BeaDSM platinum is extremely expensive ya know that right?
Crap wrong metal ;-;
@@1963felonee I do; that's why I was laughing! Assumed it was a joke.
@@BeaDSM idk why it tagged you but I swear it tagged the actual person at first
Well it’s still beautiful i dont care if rings are real or fake i think there pretty both ways
My gf lost a pure gold necklace. She just text me out of no where and said she must've dropped it outside.
She now wears a different gold necklace
GOLD
DIAMOND
ring
Its made out of diamond and gold
Wow ✨✨✨✨👏👏
As far as I know even silver doesn't react with nitric acid are you sure he used HNO3 or is that aqua regia
It does react, it forms silver nitrate, nitric oxide and water.
Also you could react that silver nitrate with HCL and get silver chloride + nitric acid
Toll das sich endlich mal jemand die Mühe macht, und den Mut hat, das zu erklären. Die meisten Händler sind leider nur auf Profit aus!!!!!! 🙄
They were smart to test it. Gold and Silver need different care and techniques.
Isn’t silver still worth a lot tho?
stainles steel worth more than mdf silver
no not at all
Why in game silver is very hard to have it
a very long silver is 1 cent
Not really
I seriously could not care less. If it looks like gold, its gold in my eyes
You would care if you pay gold price for a silver or lead ring.
If you paid 500 buck for it you should care
Only white gold does not look like silver if you know the difference
@@mrdeafter lol what? Idc what you bought lol
So youd pay gold prices but for fake gold? Trolling I hope
Dang, u said “silver” like it’s such a negative thing ☺️😄. I’m glad u were able to help 👍🏽
i mean... if you were going to fake a gold ring may as well just use copper or something cheaper
ok but they literally just scratched her ring- edit: OK YALL OMG- i get it-
They add it back or completely remove the scratches while resizing. They check if it’s silver for color and material consistency
A quick polish fixes that🤷♀️
I’m a pawn broker and we use a polishing stone to test all our jewelry. It doesn’t damage the jewelry, the most it would do would leave a small shiny spot
That's how it's done
@@mariyachmykh821 that looked like polishing stone to me.
This whole trend of "omg my ring is fake or real" is annoying af and just shows how materialistic and ungrateful our society has become. I'm so tired of everyone bitching and being so entitled and privileged.
FYI: Its the thought that counts and if you really love someone you won't care what the hell they buy for you.
But what if the customer paid for x dollars but the its just made of silver and should only cost y dollars it means they got scammed an can sue
@@potato-su6gu I'm not saying they shouldn't exist, especially in the case you find a ring or bought one from somewhere and want to know if it's worth something. What I'm saying is how ungrateful some women are when it comes to rings and also how annoying the trend is of people doing it and posting it online.
I’m glad that they didn’t use a fake diamond tester
I was most amused by how smooth that loop was
She Probably was like, “I asked for a resize not to expose me.” 😭
OH NO! Someone didn't want to waste loads of money on a ring!
I mean it looks like a silver at first and its silver I will never see gold made just like an mirror
Silver is still pretty valuable
Chemist here, I’m pretty sure if the ring LOOKS SILVER it isn’t GOLD! You literally held a silver colored ring in your hands and said “is it gold?” There would be no reason to plate gold with silver, that would be a waste of gold due to silver being relatively common in comparison, you really don’t need to do these tests unless they used something like pyrite or brass plating or some other gold color alloy, yes there is white colored gold alloys, but that would be a fairly uncommon use of gold because for one; silver would look similar, and two; most people want to know and show off that it’s gold instead of being unsure of what it’s made of
white gold?.. 😅
It didn’t even look like white gold I agree with this guy it looks silver from the get go
ya but even so they tested it for the ring owner’s convenience; she thought it was gold. even if it clearly is silver. it’s a service to her ya knowww
@@paulcarter5010 it does look like white gold
You should go back to school
My mom got her wedding ring in the middle east, and she thinks 14K is cheap because her jewelry including her wedding ring is all 21K. And it’s REAL!
Ok
Mate am pretty sure 21k and 14k gold don’t exist
I think is important for jewelers to test everything they get to avoid scammers, I've never used jewelry but I've been an employee in different areas and scammers will do anything for free money
Maybe it's silver but used to be 14k played but it rubbed off.?
I mean I would love a silver rain that’s amazing
If you want to test either it gild ia east hild a magnet if it stick it fake obviously
Honestly I prefer silver, it's much cheaper than gold and it still looks just fine I don't know that I would buy diamond jewelry either.
We determined the ring was made of antimatter because when we did the scratch test, it exploded
I've never seen gold sold as 585 it's always been silver.
In Europe 585 is very common and very real. Are you getting confused with 925 which is sterling silver.
@@stevewoods8116 What I had meant is that everything I have seen for gold is always some number with a K, and silver usually has numbers.
I could’ve figured that out just by looking at the colour
"white gold" is a thing. 75% gold but silver-colored, common in jewelery
I accidentally left a gold mark on a table once and now it’s there forever for us to see in class
My first impression was like: A silver gold ring? That's new.
Making sure she aint a werewolf😂
Imagine taking your ring to be resized, only to be told the next day that's its not even real.
Thank you very much for this information . 👍🌹
I could've told you that
people saying they shouldn’t have tested it but he was curious about the weight and discovered this and also the stamp on the ring didn’t match so it’s important to know and size the customer wanted it to be resized it must’ve been new
Other method is throwing the ring on ice if it melts its silver if it doesn't melt its gold 😊
Ive had a few like this come into the shop the end up being gold over silver (vermeil)
There was an old way girls tested gold with the cover girl compact powder. If it turn black it was real. I think, it has been about 20 years since we did it. It could be the other way around. I have to test it again
It's that way
Also on clean skin without any products holding it a certain amount of time till you sweat a little works
But inversely to the makeup one (also any foundation+compact powder should work) . On bare skin the reaction with sweat shouldn't leave any mark or tarnish on the piece but if black or green appear it's fake 🤥
Scratch testing on a pad like that shown in the video is not always a good idea. It can deform the jewelry and remove gold from the jewelry. While this is an accurate method testing it is not practical. This why many jewelry stores, pawnshops, gold dealers, etc. use a laser precious metals tester to ensure not only the composition of the metal but the percentage (10k,14k,18k,22k,24k) as well.
I cant wait too do this jobbbbbb 💕🙏😭
I mean... the silver color of the ring should be more than enough to tell you its made out of silver and not gold. Right?
The thing is since it is marked 585 or 14k it's probably 10k but the jewler scammed them by putting that mark on it. If it is 10k it should be marked with 414. Whis is the purity. On a side note 10k is the smallest available percentage you can sell in America and still call it gold. Also since the acid testing only goes down to 14k in solution of course it's going to look fake.
I love the way he said silver art the end 😂
My parents will alow me watching these learning shorts
Wait u guys scratch the ring to determine the authenticity.
Silver is bueatiful
I coulda told you it looks like silver...
But why is the gold color not gold? Even if it's 14k it should be good color right???
The withe gold is tougher than clasic one because it has 48 other metal that coudl be anything you can make withe gold with iron titanium all silver color metals
That’s wild. Too bad she just wanted the ring resized.
I wouldn't have been to disappointed, I prefer white gold or silver jewelry. It goes better with my skintone.
The silver colour of the ring wasn't a dead give away. Got to be thorough
Well it could have been white gold
"white gold" is a thing. 75% gold but silver-colored, common in jewelery
So was the center band marked gold was gold? And then the bands added on the outside a as silver or wha
she came looking for gold,but instead found Silver!!
Hay did you guys figure out yet on a normal test kit using only a solution for yellow gold identification that 14kt white would fail always?
Its luster does not look like silver by any means, even sterling would keep that good of a shine for a day.
Should use a spectroscopic metal identifier if you wanna be certain and tell your buyer for sure what the metal content is
585 I think it prolly said 925 or someone altered the 925 to try and get more money for it.
How do a consumer prevent itself from buying fake jewelry calming to be real ?
So the silver color of the ring wasn't an indication enough that the ring is not gold?
Nobody in their right mind would think that was gold even without doing those tests... there was no need
I'm sure the love the new scratchee in it
It's pretty obvious based off the way it looks
"white gold" is a real thing. contains gold but doesn't look it. used in a lot of jewelery
I visited a gift shop out west the owner guy said to test a diamond he just smacked it with a hammer. I nicely informed him that diamonds are brittle and can break.
Im i was told Gold is always stamped with this kart and silver with its % so 14k gold and 585 silver
the customer might have later said, my bad it was actually a silver ring, i misspoke XD
Shocking...
I mean it looked like solver from the start
Can you show us the customers fake ring
With diamond testing pen
Wow, I could've looked at you and told you it was silver
*me trying to figure out why it matters if it’s gold or not*
If a person paid more for what they thought was gold ring was just acctually silver
@@potato-su6gu *Okay thank you :)*
You couldn’t tell by looking at it
Yeah you can know bc its in the color
Advice for cleaning a silver chain?
Would white gold leave a yellow stripe?
That sounds like a kinda silly way to test.
Would it matter if the ring was rhodium plated since most white gold rings are?
What wanna know is if the person who brought it in was trying to scam them or if they were scammed
Would a scratch test only test the surface? I have no knowledge about testing for gold.
