How can you tell if a cufflink is real gold?

If your cufflinks do not have posts, they may be buttons or button covers. Use the magnifying glass to look for gold markings. Look for the numbers 10, 12, 14, 18, 22 or 24 followed by the letter K. You can find this gold karat marking at the back of the cufflinks where it cannot be seen when worn.
