Gold Rope Chain
question about a 14k gold chain? I dont understand why the chain is real and the clasp is not?
I recently bought a 14k white gold rope chain from a local jewelery who has been in business for a long time. I noticed that the clasp did not match the coloring of the chain. I did the magnetic test and the Lobster clasp was magnetic but the chain was not. It is marked 14k but not marked on the clasp 14k on the link next to the Lobster clasp. Is it common for a real gold chain to have a fake clasp? I bought the chain knowing it was second hand because the guy i bought it from buys a lot of gold and sells some melts the rest.
When a jewelry piece is sold as 14k gold, all metallic components in the piece have to be 14k gold or higher. Gold chains and gold clasps are made separately and the goldsmith/jeweler/designer solder them together.
See below links to gold chains and gold clasps:

The gold clasp should be stamped as well with the 14k/585 hallmark of 14 karat gold.
Note: the clasp may still be magnetic, if the spring which is used inside is magnetic. In this case, only the tiny spring isn't gold. If required, the spring can be removed leaving a solid gold component.
