 Non-cursed amulets are safe to try on; the effect may become obvious after a while, such as for the amulet of ESP, and you can always remove it if it is strangulation or restful sleep. The only risk is a small chance of changing genders, which does not have an effect on gameplay for the most part. Once strangulation and restful sleep are ruled out, even cursed amulets can be worn safely and beneficially as long as you don't have another amulet you'd rather be wearing instead.

 In NetHack 3.4.3, Amulets of ESP can be identified using the [[naming artifacts|artifact naming trick]], because they cannot be named "[[The Eye of the Aethiopica]]". In NetHack 3.6.0, no amulet can be named "The Eye of the Aethiopica", so this method is ineffective at identifying amulets of ESP. Note that it is exploiting a bug that may be fixed in [[variant]]s&mdash;including NAO version of NetHack. Additionally it may be considered [[cheating]].
 The real Amulet of Yendor, unlike the fakes, cannot be placed in a container ("The Amulet of Yendor cannot be confined in such trappings.")
