Take a black stone and rub the product against it. It will leave a mark on the product. Now apply nitric acid to the affected area. The mark will dissolve if the item is impure gold, whereas the acid will not affect pure gold.
Take a strong magnet bar and bring it near the gold-coloured item. Due to its non-magnetic properties, pure gold will show no reaction. However, gold products with low karats might be a mixture of base metals having non-magnetic properties. Hence, magnet tests are not always a reliable method.
The density of 24K gold is 19.2 g/cm3. It is heavier than the majority of metals used in the manufacture of fake gold ornaments. To perform a float test, fill a jar halfway with water and drop the product. Pure gold sinks due to its high density, whereas impurities float.
Rub the piece forward and backward against your skin. In addition, you can hold it between your hands for a short period of time. If the metal is pure gold, your skin will not react to it. Your skin may turn green, blue, or black if it comes into contact with fake jewellery.

Gold is valuable only when it is pure. There are instances where customers are duped with impure gold. Hence, confirming the purity of gold is crucial.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is a government authority that certifies the purity of gold. According to BIS, the following factors are to be kept in mind when buying gold.
Jewellery hallmarked by BIS will have a BIS logo on it. Remember that since BIS is the only authorized laboratory in India for gold certification.
Karat is a scale to gauge gold's purity. While 24 karat gold is the purest, it is too soft for use. Hence, other metals are added and the gold available in the market is often 22 Karat.
The gold you buy should also carry an identification mark by an authorized jeweller. This helps ensure the gold is from a credible source. The mark can also be helpful in the case of disputes.
Gold prices rise in lockstep with inflation. When inflation soars, the currency loses value, reducing your purchasing power significantly. However, gold remains stable during inflation, so investors and governments prefer to keep liquidity in gold form. The surge in demand for yellow metal in the country drives up gold prices.
India is a major importer of gold. It purchases yellow metal from the UAE, the European Union, Switzerland, Ghana, and Peru. If the relationship with the gold-importing country deteriorates for diplomatic reasons, yellow metal prices will rise.
Natural disasters such as floods, cyclones, earthquakes, and landslides disrupt the entire mining to logistics process. For example, the extraction process is halted if it rains heavily in a city with a gold reserve. Similarly, if Itanagar experiences an earthquake or a landslide, logistics become difficult. Such scenarios contribute to a supply shortage and an increase in gold prices.
The US dollar, or USD, is a widely used medium for gold imports and exports. Imports become more expensive as the USD value rises against the Indian currency, causing yellow metal prices to rise.
The government stockpiles gold to deal with the economic downturn. It also serves as a safety net when the value of a currency falls and when most people want to exchange it for gold. If the central government directs the Reserve Bank of India to increase gold reserves, the jewellery market will face a supply shortage, leading to rate increases.
What are the various uses of gold in Itanagar?
Gold is malleable, ductile, a good conductor of electricity, and chemically inert. All of these characteristics make it ideal for industrial and electrical applications. They are also used in dentistry and the treatment of various ailments.
