Is this "gold chain" fake?

: I received a "gold chain" as a birthday present, two months ago. Since then, the chain has discolored in ways that made me suspect that it is not real gold. It is stamped "14K Italy". [snip] Can this possibly be gold? Certainly. 14 karat gold is quite susceptible to tarnishing -- it's less than 60% gold, with the other 40% usually being copper. |
