Sources of Gold

There are various sources from which gold can be found for the purpose of getting scrap gold. Some of them are as follows:

  • Jewelry

Jewelry is the best and probably the easiest way to derive gold. Gold jewelry is often worn by women and is kept as an asset for future investment. But some jewelry that looks exactly like gold might not have any gold metal in it, but certain jewelry might be misunderstood as silver jewelry, but in reality, it might contain the white gold metal. One can be confirmed about the gold content in jewelry through the hallmark that is present in every gold jewelry be it pendants, rings, or necklaces.

  • Computer and smartphones

Computers and smartphones have a processor and a connector, these processors and connectors are made with gold. Most electronic goods like televisions, gaming consoles, printers, and others contain some amount of gold. Gold can be derived from these goods and used as scrap gold, but it needs a lot of knowledge as the process of receiving scrap gold from these is complex as it involves burning the goods till they are crisp and then using cyanide or acid to segregate gold from the objects and selling it in the market as scrap gold.

  • Embroidery

Embroidered clothing is often known to have gold embroidery. Gold is known to be ductile which means that it can be converted into thin strings which are then used on clothes, it is especially famous for bridal wear in India. With the help of a magnifying glass, one can see broken threads of the gold strings on a dress that has real gold embroidery. This is the best way to determine whether the Gold is real or just plastic as gold has the tendency to break just like any other metal.
