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 s. 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.
