10k gold can be overlaid with 22k gold, and a test which requires scratching a mark from the piece onto the little stone slab included in the test kit will only pick up a bit of the 22k overlay, testing the item as 22k, and there you have it - an item that tests for about twice the gold content that it actually has. So one must be careful, and if necessary do more invasive testing.....
