About Gold Jewelry
Gold Purity
The purity of gold is measured in karats.
Pure gold measures 24 karats but is too soft in this state to be used
effectively in jewelry. So it is alloyed with other metals--silver,
copper, nickel, and zinc--to increase its strength and durability.
Common measurements once the alloy is added are 18 karat (75% gold), 14
karat (58%), and 10 karat (47.7%). In the United States, the legal karat
limit for the metal to still be considered gold is 10 karats. A higher
karat measurement in gold content indicates a greater value of the
jewelry piece. Gold jewelry should always be stamped with the karat
mark, either 18k, 750 (European marking for 18k), 14k, 585 (European
marking for 14k), or 10k. In addition, to assure its quality, the piece
should be stamped with the manufacturer's trademark or country of
origin.
Gold Color
The color of gold may vary based
off of the type of metal alloy included and the percentage of the metal
alloy used. Most commonly, gold is available in yellow, white and rose
coloring.
Yellow gold is the most common color and is usually
alloyed with silver and copper. Yellow and white gold are similar in
strength and malleability, making them perfect for jewelry that is worn
daily.
White gold is alloyed with nickel, copper, and zinc--and while it looks similar to platinum, it has vastly different properties.
Rose-colored
gold is alloyed with copper and is often used to accent white or yellow
gold. The saturation of color varies from piece to piece and according
to gold content.
Caring For Your Gold Jewelry
To keep
gold shining and scratch-free, avoid contact with chlorine and other
harsh chemicals. Do not wear jewelry during rough work and be sure to
store it in a fabric-lined jewelry box or pouch. To clean gold jewelry,
use warm water, a mild soap, and a soft bristled brush, if needed.
