Gold is non-ferrous and therefore is not attracted by a magnet. There are other metal that are attracted by a magnet but gold is not one of them. You can tell what is a ferrous metal and what is a non ferrous one but you cannot identify gold.

Is there a Magnet to check if something is real gold?
Not really, pure gold is non-ferrous, meaning that it won't attract a magnet because there is no iron in it. That said, if a magnet sticks to something that you thought was gold, it would prove that it wasn't pure gold, and that it is either fake gold, gold plated, or gold alloyed with iron (if there is such a thing). At the same time, if a magnet doesn't stick to something you think is gold, it doesn't prove that it is gold, because there are many other metals that don't attract magnets either.

How can a jeweler tell a ring is solid gold?
Jewelers will use a couple of techniques to find if an item is real gold. The most reliable is a scratch test, they rub the item on a special block that reveals if it is genuine. The easiest way to tell is to put a strong magnet over it. Real gold is not magnetic at all. If there are fillers present it will stick to the magnet, or you will feel it pull towards the magnet.
