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.
