TESTING GOLD JEWELRY AT TRAXNYC
Vložit

- A classic gold test and acid gold testing kit. I took 2 cubans from my store at 64 West 47th street and a 24k gold coin to show you guys how it works. You take each piece and make a long scratch on the test plate from the gold. Hit those lines with a drop or 2 of each liquid solution (10k,14k, and 18k gold). If the solution dissolves the scratch of gold, then it fails the test. Just one of many ways to make sure you can trust the people you shop with in the diamond district. Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Gold has a radioactive signature, I've heard it can be traced back to the exact mine. Would you have the equipment to count/identify the various isotopes & then it's location?
That’s mad interesting tbh 👌👌
Super cool. You learn something new everyday. Or maybe, you are reminded? Who knows. I guess even if you knew and forgot, it's now new again lol
That doesn't exist lol
Yes with raw gold but most jewelry is made with reused gold that has been melted down 100s of times and mixed with 100s of different gold from around the world.
You can trace the exact mine shaft the gold came from in specimen form.
@@notdyingsober it actually 100% does exist. That’s how they catch illegal claim jumpers. But it has to be raw gold can’t be melted and mixed around with other gold it looses its unique signature
Imagine how much scratched gold is lost throughout time!!!
Yeah those nanograms per rub really cost a Fortune right
@@seabass580it's alot over time tho regardless, especially considering that gold only grows in value
I thought they would keep the dust
Often times when handling gold they do collect and save those trace amounts. I’m not sure about the scratch test, since they are using an acid that breaks it down, but maybe they do.
Extremely small amount is lost doing this method.
I work at a pawnshop and I do these test everyday, I’ve been fascinated with the jewelry. People come in all the time asking for a jeweler or for repairs and we have none in my area I plan on taking advantage of that and getting trained to become a jeweler. Wish me luck!!
I wise you luck
Bhai I want nitric acid can you help me
How’s everything going?
@@pasofino9583 I am currently taking classes, I’ve learned simple repairs and I am now learning lost wax casting. It’s gonna take some time to be where I want to be but this guy trax keeps me motivated
@@ganeshak943 full kits can be bought online with a scratch stone
Trax I love youre honesty, we need moore people like you in this world.😊
Most honest guy making videos about gold and diamonds. I've shopped here for years and won't stop. Anytime I go elsewhere, I end up regretting it.
You know what I love about what you do. Is that you educated people on gold and diamonds. I think its important to know. I know all this stuff because I worked in the business.
He manifested his life into reality amazing man... 👏
Anyone can do it. All successes start with an idea and a passion in your mind. I know this as self made man from lint
@@polymathperspectiveI want to be a
Dam old school..the last few jewelry stores I have been to use a machine to test it and it tells exactly how gold(what percent/karat) it is.
You can buy those yourself but it will set up you back about 2 1/2 grand
Those testers are about 3k
Some stuff is really heavy plated tho and you will need a heavier scratch and multiple times 😭 much love !

Appreciate the knowledge TraxNYC.
My grandfather would love you if he was still here ! You are a awesome person
Always teaching
Traxx rules
Great info! Super cool test kit! Tanks a lot!
Thank you for explaining how to test gold. I've had to embark on selling gold and silver
Jewelry 101 everytime and class is always a great session
What he doesn't say is that gold filled jewelry will also pass this test so watch out for that ...
I've been played by a scammers, pretending to be Max of TraxNYC. Trying to charged me for shipping a giveaway🎁✨ prize. They try to charged me 400 dollar way much more than a shipping fee. The weight is less than a half kilogram mean the giveaway. 400 dollar shipping fee is for more heavy parcels. Scammers are really active on CZcams, every body be careful.
Thanks for the info, Uncle Trax.
Thanks for the knowledge!
22k solution comes with the kit. I have one lol comes with silver & platinum also
Ty for showing everyone the difference between lab grown diamonds and regular diamonds and ty for this video as well

Animo carnalote 😮❤eso es todo😊
Thanks trax for the info
You’re looking mysterious today Trax!
I always wondered about this technique and what scratches it leaves behind on the jewellery
It's gold. Any scratch can be polished out completely
good knowledge
Good job sir ❤
Never owned 18 kt chain!! I follow you..glad to see honest business man! Mazal!
See, you are inspiring me to become the person I always wanted to be. Thank you for all ur teachings.
Thanks 🙏🏽 ❤
Very informative
Useful, thanks for sharing
i Love the Chain ❤❤❤
Very good 👍
I know the concentration of the nitric acid is what ultimately tells you what carat gold you are dealing with but how can you be sure it's not just plated?
Honestly, just experience?
Nitric acid by itself won’t dissolve gold at all. They mix 2 acids and create a weak form of aqua regia
If it's plated the acid will turn green then dissolve the scratch completely. If you're still unsure, you can also dip the gold onto a drop of the solution. the chain will bubble and turn green if it's plated. If you have experience with gold it's easier to identify fake gold and usually you can spot it out before even using the solution. But they do make some really good fakes out there (work at a pawn shop)
I always liked that proces
Old-school testing but still valid 👌
Lol, I litterly have the same 18k gold chain with the same thickness. Cool. It's the first one he scratches. It was left behind by my late grandfather.

Love your vids straight up guy but can’t help thinking you sound like mayor Quimbey from the Simpsons 😂
Made yourself flinch 😂😂
I’ve got a gold testing kit just like that. I’ve had the opportunity to use it once.
It also tests silver as well
I fuck with trax solid ass dude
What if only the coating is a high purity gold, but the inside isnt?
A lot of that going on out there. Then you have to drill into it in several places, to test what comes out.
Very cool I should get some
Where do you get the kits at
You sir have the coolest job in the world
With NOTHING TO TEST, I had to get my own gold test kit myself!!!! I love it, Even though I have nothing to test… Yet.
Watch out for gold filled jewelry though. It will pass this test
Nice I just keep learning more from you bro thank you
Guy is a good man ❤
I like.your jewelry❤❤❤
Kool test
Seems only surface level tho, how do you text a chain through and through without cutting a link?
❤ you trax
Why not use an analytic machine so you are not damaging anything
What do you do with the gold once its on the scratch palette
where will we get this nitric acids for gold test,we didn't getting online or offline
Nice info
Great sir❤❤❤
you are very expert when it comes to Gold and jewelries you know everything the Class happy to watching your video again from Philippines God Blessed you and your Family Sir🤩🥰🙏
I wonder if you could magically collect all the scratch blocks ever used and retrieved the gold off them how much gold you would have :) ❤ love you bud. Hope one day I can pay you good money to do great work!
That's crazy I just seeing the movie you are in great job
Does that scraping damage the gold?
Is there is any possibility to buy this kit
Will gold scratch acid test detect heavily gold plated items?
Were to get test kit
Boss man Pete in the background
Good information
Brother I appreciate your knowledge and I learn a lot by listening to the information you are putting out there.👍
I thought you would use XRF technology, for quickly test purity & karat of gold plus you can test other precious metals
Dose scratching it mess it up? Or do u just buff out the scratches?
Love you brother ❣️❣️
What does the gold look like after scratching?
Where can you buy this acid from
Good information to have
Well done fantastic
Where to buy this tools for testing ??
How do you test if it's plated?
Verry good☺️☺️
Very nice sir
I been looking at Cuban link chains but man those price tags
Also good to show how each purity gives different color of streak when scratched against the stone.
I’m sure you can eye any non high polished karat by eye by now 😉
Nope. I guarantee he can't. Your point about knowing the color of those streaks he made? That was a comment, someone who has barely touched, or seen gold would make.
Due to different alloys and tricks etc you can only really start to see real color differences when comparing 10k to 18k. 18k and up starts to look more deep yellow. Some say orangey.
I only buy/wear 18 and up, due to purity, color and resell value.
Love content like this. Is there any place I can buy gold online that is not going to scam me
I have this and it’s how I always determine if my gold is real or not. I Got one on Amazon for around $20.
I pray you heard my neighbor call me a b lmao
What do you use to check if the kit is fake?
Would anything like this work on rough gold ore??
How do you know if it is gold plated or filled vs solid
What if the jewelry is 925 plated in gold. Would the same (kit) rubbing and acid test work?
How do you test platinum?
I have some gold chain I need to test before selling out but I don't have that classic solution, what should do
Trax NYC if you want to expand I’m your man in Baltimore!!
Does it damage the necklace?
Nope
yes very faintly
