To determine if a small gold chain is real, check for a hallmark stamp indicating its karat value, such as "10K," "14K," or "18K." You can also perform a magnet test, as real gold is non-magnetic, or consider a nitric acid test, which should not affect real gold. For certainty, consult a professional jeweler for an expert appraisal.
