Common testing methods
The touchstone and acid test compares the mark your gold leaves on a stone against known standards. Electronic and X-ray based testers read composition without marking the piece. Each has strengths, so ask which is used.

Reading the result
Pure gold is 24 karat. 22K is about 91.6 per cent gold and 18K is 75 per cent. A higher karat means more gold per gram and a higher value per gram.
Test-only visits
If you only want to know the purity, ask whether a test-only visit is possible and whether any fee applies.

A touchstone test leaves a tiny mark and electronic testing leaves none. Ask the team which method is used for your piece.
