Its about honesty, honour, and integrity. Those are just a few of the MOST CRUCIAL traits of doing business, ESPECIALLY in our industry. Salute to you TraxNYC. Much respect.
This guy should have millions of subscribers, i really thought he would have blown by now
I’m starting to think Trax blocks the garbage subs. Lmao the man is dropping knowledge on under 200k of us. Fuck it keep it that way
500k by now
Fake thugs whit fake cheap ⛓s, sht never stop!🦥
your thought came true my friend
well, he actually does lol
Your the only jeweler that testing your jewelry. I don't see any other doing it
dont make the mistake some people do tho.. some jewelers will putt in real diamonds and links specifically for testing. yea its a sad situation :(
Really love your videos , and it's looks like you're an honest person ❤️
I always admired your compassionate videos.Not everything glitters is gold,do it the right way
You're definately doing all my Gold for me. This is great.
Nice video! Learned something today and it being the Truth was a great bonus. Keep working sir
Love your vibes and videos you run a solid biz. I love to one day buy a custom piece.
thanks for the info buddy.
you really know know what your talking about.NO BULLSHITTING!!!
👍👍💯
So i went to those pawn shop and they tested my gold chain 14k , they only tested it with the 10k and 14k liquid and didn’t disappear and they told me that it was doing an effect and I said but it didn’t disappear the line is still there, and I said put the 18k liquid they didn’t want to, they say my chain it was less than 10k even though it didn’t disappear. They say because it was doing a burning effect. So what can you tell me about this please. Thank you..
"these are the standards, the secrets believe me im keeping for myself"
Good job my bro. Thank you for the needed info!!!😎😎😎
Haha you killing the game!😁😂😁
VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO FELLOW ,WE NEED MORE LIKE YOU GRETINGS FROM THE PHILIPPINES
Very helpful and educational video
Thanks man
isn't it better to use a spectrometer instead of acids?
Trax..legit. Seems like it's a headache dealing w other ppls bullshit. Great videos...
Excellent video and information, thank you.
In Italy precious items need to have a stamp which tells you how what karat gold or silver, platinum ecc is + a producer stamp released by the local commissioner after a background check. This second stamp tells you exactly who is responsable for the quality of the precious metal. In fact if you see 750 (which stands for 18k) on a gold chain it's usually going to be at least 780 because the producer doesn't want to risk.
Yes but I find bunk stamps on gold at times too
Great video!
Big thanks to the man in the video
I am an English teacher in Taiwan and I think I need to make a similar video to educate my fellow Taiwanese coz they usually learned English in a cheaper but useless way and said I charge too much......
crooks prices VS fair prices battle
I feel you Sir.
Thanks for educating us.
Thank you your genuine response and video. Much appreciated!
This is very informative. Thanks
Secrets... hollow chains, hollow profiles filled by another metal, including stone weight while selling and subtract while buying, thick plating lower carats gold to pass simple test. And for last that is the biggest crime in the business, selling rhodium plated yellow gold as a white gold.
An honest man. Appreciated brother 🙏
I learned a lot from you than from reading, watching other yt videos and from other people.
Aye Trax you’re killing it Man, I just started watching your vids and you’ve given so much knowledge and it’s appreciated. How do you tell somethings gold plated or solid gold without drilling?? The acid only shows that the surfaces ct correct?
Put a magnet on it to see if it sticks.
When your testing and doing the scratch part like you did you scratch 3 lines would that part scratch the jewelry?
Thank you for sharing these tips with us.
Just one question though.....other than buying jewellery from a reputable jewellers, is there a way of knowing if gold is genuine before handing your cash over?
I would just bring the kit with me and do it the following way. First you're looking for the piece of jewelry you really want and then give him or her the following deal. If you can do test and the results come in positive, then you make the purchase and the scratch doesn't make any difference. But if you find out that you have been misinformed, then you leave the store immediately because you never do business with those kind of people. They can take it or leave it, some deals are big numbers and just like buying a car. You need to test that thing out.
Now I want to know the secrets of the jewelers... ;)
Does the scraping of the gold destroy or scratch the chains?
Thanks for the knowledge
Thanks for content and ideas. I'm using sigma detector as acids are little bit messy.
Love this video - for years I sold 10k, 14k & 18k gold chain locks all over NYC, Providence and LA for a leading Italian manufacturer of locks, I knew there were a ton of tricks in the trade especially those little stamps, but didn't know about this test kit - it's true that the general public get duped all over the world, tourist buyers are some of the easiest to fool. The guy in this video has clearly had enough of his competitors knowingly fooling customers and giving the industry a bad name. Good for him for saying it out loud!
this is the first thing i learn when i started collecting scrap gold and silver many years ago. It saved me a few times from some fake junk.
THANKS FOR THE INFO BRO
Does the chain get all scratched up on the area u rubbed it on?
Trax knows all the trix😂❤
You forgot to stamp my ring, am never buying from you again!! LOL!
So happy you made this video because I have a question I wanted to ask for a long time: how to detect plated gold?
1. Check stamps, they're usually marked if it is plated
2. use a fairly powerful magnet. gold isn't magnetic, so if it sticks at all or there is some magnetic pull some other metal is on the inside
3. scratch really deep on a scratch test to break the plated layer. plating is usually fairly thin
4. if need be use wire cutters or something to snap the jewelry in half and pour a little bit of acid directly on the snap / use a razor to make a deep etch and pour acid directly on the cut
This is what we do at work to verify authenticity of anything we take in.
@@mateorichardson6084 and then what if all that damages a good piece ? is it repairable?
@@ummlittlemuslim yes u can have it fixed
@traxnyc would it be overkill if i bought that lil kit with me when i purchase jewelry?
Good video bro 💯
very straightforward perfect
I appreciate the knowledge. I took a 14k sold gold Cuban chain that was 24 in had it cut down the 18 and the jeweler swapped out part of my chain. Had the chain for 22yrs never took it off until I went to this jeweler to have it cut.. he Left me with 9 inches of my original chain. And then inches of the swap chain. I haven't the time to go back to that shop , but I'll soon be making a trip there.
Would the jewelers allow you to do the test at the jewelry shop before buying a piece of jewelry?
i think if you would say if it stand the test i will buy it,, and if the jeweler says no, then you have your anser;)
I bought a gold plated silver bracelet in Mexico the stamp .925 should have been a dead giveaway but I didn’t know any better at the time. Knowledge is money
what is the name of the kit that you are using to test the gold?
Great video. Thanks.
From the very beginning you said something very true! My parents got lied to many years ago trying to get me a first communion gift. They picked a necklace with an angel pendant. My parents already knew they wanted to get me 14k. And the lady who helped them sold them a gold bonded 14k pendant with a 14k solid chain. They didn’t know that until I looked at the markings carefully and then realized that the pendant is in fact gold bonded. Under the sunlight I can see fading areas of the pendant. But the chain never faded. So yes! To many crooks mixing different things and tricking people! Very well said!
How do you know that you aren't testing just the gold plating if it's fake ?
You could use a strong magnet to detect other metals
Thanks for the education brother 💯💯👍👍😎
Does this work on any type of chain like gold filled gold plated gold electroplated etc?
Good work you the best
Does scratching the gold mess it up? I wanna test mine
Super video thanks for sharing
Is there any ways as opposed to using a chemistry kit when buying gold ?
I was just here to see if my guitar tuners were gold, but sheesh, I learned a lot from this guy's video. Def buying from him if I ever need Jewelry in the city
You know who’s the real g in the jewelry business hey everybody sure up Johnny dang
More blessings boss you are just a nice man more good luck
@TraxNYC Diamond Jewelry, how do you check the diamond karats?
I understand pure gold is 24 kt. I have seen a lot of gold prospecting videos, and I've often wondered what is considered the normal kt for gold nuggets and gold dust taken from a stream {for instance}. I can't imagine they'd all be 24 kt, nor can I imagine 12kt being a normal kt. What is the most common kt for gold found in the wild?
Wouldn’t the scratch pad damage the chain?
no because is solid
I have had jsp acids were the 14k acid dissolves everything and had the understanding thats why you use the gold test needles or gold of known karat and compare the amount of time it takes to dissolve the gold.
Very good video 💯💯💯
It's true thst many, if not most jewellers are crooks. Years ago I brought a solid 18k gold stud earring to the local jeweler and wanted to buy a matching stud. The jeweler said he couldn't tell what size stud it was, he took it in the back room to measure it and returned with 2 identical earrings. When I left, the earrings matched but they seemed different than original pair. They were the same size, but they seemed lighter... but I shrugged it off, thinking I was imagining it. About 6 months later I brought in a pair of 18 k gold hoop earrings to be repaired. Only one was broken, but he instructed me to leave both earrings with him. When I picked them up, something about them seemed different. My husband couldn't tell, they looked some how different to me. Since this was the second time I felt the jewelry was different, we ended up bringing all the earrings to another jeweler for evaluation. We found that my 18k solid stud was now an 14k hollow earring, (as was the new match) and my 18k gold hoop earrings were now 14 k gold filled hoops. He did a great job making copies, but not perfect. I can't even imagine how much he is stealing swapping stones.
Sharp guy, thanks
You taught me more than my school
What I'm saying how would you know if it's 10 or 14 karat if both of the Aztec is showing positive
Aloha from Hawaii 🌺🌺thank you for making this video Mahalo
Good shit 👏 👌
what if its not gold at all?? will it always disintegrate?
Yes
How do you know if piece is just gold overlay?
Great video
Good job people must careful. Thank you
He is a real jewelry. Thank you so much
He always says “over there” throwing a horse shit of shade at the jewelers down the road
What it electroplated gold on different metal?
I’d love to lay away a 22k chain. Coming at ya very soon buddy!
Are all gold test kit on amazing real? Or where should I buy it
I mean amazon
what about harlembling i have a 14k gp 4mm franco from them
Luv you man
Everyone been to Atlanta and cop that fake gold big boy chain for the $20. A couple of months later it was looking like copper😂
TRAX's got the best deal for the real REAL
Does it damage ur chain when u scratch it on that little plate thing
If it's real gold it shouldnt... tbh that could be another test, if you scratch it and you see something other than gold then, you guessed it... its fake!
You are good man.
Thank you!
TRAXNYC makes GOOD videos🙂👍
:)
@@TraxNYCDiamondJewelry And that's why we fuck with TraxNYC!
do you sell 24k gold chains?
Thank you 😊
Please! Please. Be sure to really scratch it on.. plated will pass the 10k 14k test if you don’t go deep enough..
You need to get past the gold plating or filling to get best results!
so you're literally depreciating the jewelry without buying it yet? 🤔
@@justinwayne445 the value is in the gold not the jewelry. It’s gonna be melted anyways.
How can you tell if its gold plated only?
Scratch more, if it's plated it will show
I have a chain that’s stamped ask what does that mean ?
Respect this video.
You are the Best amigo mío, saludos
I would purchase from this man
Plz advise where get that kit
When you're testing gold with that disc how do you know you're just not rubbing off the plating and it's not real underneath when you test it
How would you know if it's 14 or 10 if the acid is working on both of them because you said it's 14 karat gold but the 10 carat is also working on the acid as well the the 10K acid so how do you know if it's 14 or 10 if both of the acid is showing up how would you know which one it is if they both show that it's positive
How the acid determines "what" the purity is id in a graduated concentration of the same acid. The stronger the concentration, the higher the gold purity. The pure form of this acid will break down pure gold. Its how the folks who scrap gold can remove gold from the alloy. When the acid is saturated in gold particles, they then add a solution that brings the gold back to solid form, then filter.
His example is on a minute scale. The lower concentrated acid solution did nothing to break down the gold scratched onto the stone, so this tell us the necklace is AT LEAST 10k. Same with the second scratch. The necklace is AT LEAST 14k gold. The third test disitigrated the gold, being at a higher concentration of the acid capable of doing this, and failing at 18k gold.
Tell us this: not 18k gold (18k/24k, 75% gold), but at least 14k gold 14k / 24k(pure) makes at least 58.3% gold.
What are the secrets of the jewelry business? That’s the real question.
Also, what am I supposed to do, walk into stores and start scratching up all their chains? Lol
Whats the karat of the more yellow one
