Silver and gold are not attracted to a magnet and, in fact, the precious metal buyer I utilize uses the magnet test to do quick checks on small pieces of unmarked metals. Otherwise, he does have test products to test metals and any jeweler or metal buyer can check for you (usually for free). Since your ring is attracted to a magnet, perhaps it is base metal with a palladium plating. Good Luck! Peach | ||
