It should say 10K, or 14K, and look for rub spots on the back- see if you can see brass. Take it to a Jewlers shop and have them put the anylizer on it, its about the size of a pack of cigarettes and it can tell just by touching what the purity is

Well I don't wear fake jewelry but I do know that if it turns the area where you wear the necklace green then it is fake and if it doesn't then it is real also if you put fake jewelry in water the color starts to fade and real jewelry doesn't that is all I can tell you but you could also go to a jewelry store and have them check it out.

You can check it with a reputed jeweller. Also there are purity degrees marked on gold ornaments, 22k being the purest. There is the 916 purity test where the jeweller places the gold on the machine & if it displys 916 its pure, here he need not rub the surface of the ornament like in the traditional method.

if it is a fake necklace, then it will discolour if exposed to moisture.
a real gold necklace will never loose its shine or colour.

Take it to a pawn shop or weigh it and a fake one.

The same way Archimedes did it two thousand years ago. Take its dry weight, and weigh it again when immersed in water. From this data, you can calculate the specific gravity, which is much higher for gold than for any of the metals that might have been used instead.

Rub it against flat stone.... it should produce same colour on the stone and no brass / copper should be visible...
But to be on the safer side, take it to a jewel shop and be sure...
