Gold is a valuable resource that has been used in jewelry for thousands of years. While other metals may be less expensive in the short term, they don’t have the same longevity or resale value as gold. In addition, gold can be recycled again and again, making it a more sustainable choice for jewelry. Solid Gold is commonly used for any jewelry meant to last for a lifetime. Due to its durability, solid gold maintains its shine for many years. Solid gold is very durable and will not tarnish over time. It is also hypoallergenic, so it's a great option for people with sensitive skin. And with its undisputable value, solid gold is one of the best investments you can make.

What are the carats represents in solid gold?

Gold’s purity (or fineness) is measured in Karats or parts fine per 24 parts whole. 24K gold is pure gold – so it’s far more valuable. However, it’s very rare to find jewelry crafted from 100% pure gold as it’s very soft and easily damaged. Therefore 24K gold would be pure, 18K would be less pure and 14K even less so. While this might sound like a negative, pure gold is soft and scratches easily and therefore most gold used in high-end jewelry comes in at between 10K and 18K or (41% – 75%) purity.

What are the carats represent in solid gold?

In the case of 18K gold, for example, the remaining 25% will be made up of another metal such as silver, palladium, zinc, copper or nickel depending on its desired hue and intended purpose. 14K gold is therefore simply a gold alloy at 58% purity. The remaining 42% will determine the gold’s colour and hardness. While both silver and palladium will result in a white gold, a gold-silver alloy will produce a strong, durable metal whilst a gold-palladium alloy will be malleable. If the jeweler wants to produce a gold that looks yellow, he or she will use a mixture of silver and copper to produce the desired hue.

How to tell an item is solid gold?

It’s mandatory for goldsmiths to stamp their pieces with a number that indicates the gold’s purity. If you’re not sure whether your gold is, for example, 14K, give the object a close inspection and you should find a small “14K” or “585” engraved somewhere on its surface. If a gold product bears the hallmark '585', then your gold has been tested and classed as 14 carat or 58.5 per cent pure. The remaining 41.5 per cent of the item is composed of different metals such as nickel, copper, or in some cases silver.

How to tell an item is solid gold?

With that background, it will be easier to understand what 8K Gold is made of. 333 gold and 8K gold are the same things. That means you may find some items marked ‘333’ and others marked ‘8K’, but both hallmarks are indicators of the same gold purity. Any jewelry with this item is made of 33.3% pure gold, which is pretty low, and it is mixed with copper and sometimes silver. Lastly, The EU hallmark for 18 karat, or 75 % gold, is 750. If the piece is old and it’s difficult to tell, take it to a trustworthy jeweler for further inspection.

Custom and personalized orders

Solid gold will last a long, long time. The silver and copper in the alloy strengthen the metal’s structural integrity which means it’s unlikely to lose its shape or scratch. It definitely won’t fade, as the amount of gold present will stave off tarnishing for years. The higher karat a piece, the less likely it will be to tarnish. You might see some tarnishing after many years – but it’s nothing you can’t take care of at home.
