Perfect copies aren't original. The market for copies and fakes loom dangerously beneath the public radar, and it is a good thing to know that more and more steps are made to protect against and identify forgeries and deceptively real imitations. Though imitation is often mentioned to be sincere flattery, there are limits to what one can imitate and sell for a living, calling it one's own property or creation.

Take a look at Italian gold chains. They're one of the fanciest and most valuable pieces of jewelry in the market, as Italy boasts high quality gold and gold refining/production. As a gift or prize, it is coveted for its shine and appeal, however simple the creation; a symbol of wealth and charm. Nevertheless, the appeal is lost when the wearer discovers it is a fake, and often too late to run after the forger, who has long departed thanks to your money.

Let's have a look at several ways to prevent ever buying a forgery, shall we? With these in mind, you'll have lesser misses with purchasing Italian gold chains for yourself or for your family and friends. Before buying, ask yourself these questions:

1. Where did I buy them? Obviously, if some hawker at the flea market offers up something she claims to be Italian gold chains, you best be wary of it! Though we do not want to accuse them of lying or selling fakes, we do not know if they have also been deceived by their supplier. A jeweler's store in a mall certainly gives you even lesser risk of fakes, though the price you pay for it is often much higher in currency.

2. Fool's gold. It's a type of metal that looks and feels like gold, but it isn't. Take a small hand towel soaked lightly in vinegar and rub the item in question. If it leaves a black stain, you've been seriously cheated off your money. If it leaves a gold stain, or none at all, then chances are it's not fool's gold. This is a good way of finding out about Italian gold chains and other precious metals you already have in possession, as I suspect the shop keeper won't allow handling his goods in such a manner.

3. Check where it was made. If the person you plan to buy this from claims it is from a region in Italy, check if the area actually sells Italian gold. They can very well tell you that those expensive Italian gold chains come from a region of Sicily, then you'd best have a thorough research on its validity. Politely tell them you'll consider their offer, and head to the nearest jeweler or internet cafe to see what the real buzz in Milan is.

4. Look for marks or unique identification. Marks such as their karat weight, the designer label, or even deep scarring to reveal lead or tin will be another worth looking for. Be aware of these things greatly, as it will save you that wild goose chase.

The Keeper - $12.99 This macabre horror satire from Canada features an arch performance from Christopher Lee as the sinister overseer of the Underwood Asylum, whose charges come from extremely wealthy families. When relatives of these patients begin to turn up dead in alarming numbers -- with their incarcerated heirs' fortunes subsequently signed over to the asylum -- hulking twin patients the Biggs Brothers (Jack Leavy and Leo Leavy) hire intrepid detective Dick Driver (Tell Schreiber) to uncover Lee's connection to the crimes. It turns out The Keeper maintains complete control over the inmates by means of a powerful and sinister-looking hypnosis device, directing them to do his murderous bidding and doling out remote-controlled punishments to those who step out of line. A bit too jokey to be suspenseful, this film still has its inventive moments, and plays like a slight parody of Norbert Jacques's Dr. Mabuse series. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi
