The importance of accurately determining gold purity while identifying counterfeit or gold-plated items makes material verification critical for pawnshops and jewelry retailers.
Join special guest Seth Gold, of American Jewelry and Loan, and Jonathan Margalit, of Thermo Fisher Scientific, for a discussion about the reasons precious metals testing is more important than ever before.
Topics will include:
- Industry challenges in determining gold purity (karats)
- Common approaches to precious metals testing
- Use of x-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology in determining metal composition
