What is the most reliable way to test gold purity?

The most reliable way is to check the BIS hallmark and verify the HUID using the BIS Care app. For complete certainty, XRF analysis at a certified jeweller is 99.9% accurate.

Is the magnet test reliable for gold?

The magnet test is a useful screening tool — real gold is not magnetic. However, some non-gold metals are also non-magnetic, so a negative test alone does not guarantee purity.

How can I tell if my gold jewellery is real without a hallmark?

Without a BIS hallmark, you cannot be 100% certain. Visit a certified jeweller for XRF analysis or fire assay testing.
