Test the Authenticity of Copper Beads
There have been instances where copper beads and findings are sold as pure copper, but upon delivery, customers realize that they are actually plated.
Several methods can be used to test the authenticity of copper beads in your purchases.
Color
When examining an object, it is important to note the color. The copper that is authentic will display a reddish-brown tint, whereas plated items will appear lighter in color.
Feel
Copper is not as sturdy as steel. To compare the feel of pure copper and steel or imitation, weigh a copper bead on one hand and a steel bead on the other. Copper is lightweight with a delicate and smooth feel, while steel or iron is heftier and has a sturdier feel. Other factors can affect the feel test, but this method can be tried in addition to other tests.
Salt and Vinegar
To clean an item, apply a mixture of salt and vinegar to the surface. When copper oxidizes, it will turn green.
Magnet
Copper is classified as diamagnetic and will exhibit levitation or repulsion when subjected to a strong magnet.
When copper beads are attracted to magnets like steel, it is an indication that they are likely plated and not pure copper, as only iron, steel alloys, and steel are magnetic.
Magnifying Glass
To determine if a copper bead is plated, use a magnifying glass to examine a random area. If the color appears inconsistent in that spot, it may be plated.
Sound
Copper produces a smooth and unique sound, unlike steel’s high-pitched and tinny sound. You can tune in to the sound by lightly thumping a bead. However, be cautious, as genuine copper is easily dented due to its delicacy. To check the authenticity of a pack of beads, conduct an auditory test on a single bead that may have been damaged.
The suitability of these methods for distinguishing real from plated metal may vary depending on personal preferences.
The following examples demonstrate procedures to follow if you have any concerns about the quality of your beads or jewelry.
I use the magnet as I have a powerful one on my workbench, which works very well.
