Gold has always been man’s most prized possession. Gold maintains its beautiful glow for a lifetime and is friendly to the wearer. So for good reason, gold jewelry never goes out of style. Unlike other metals, gold does not react with other elements which cause the formation of tarnish.

Gold is well known for its malleability, or its ability to be shaped into very thin strands without breaking. That is why artisans are able to shape or manipulate gold whichever way they want.

When purchasing a gold jewelry, it is important that you know its purity or gold content which is called karat, or simply abbreviated as K. Pure gold is marked as 24K. Gold jewelry marked with 18K is 18 parts gold and the remaining 6 parts is another metal which makes it 75% gold. 14K is 58.3% gold containing 14 of 24 parts gold.

On the other hand, European gold jewelry has a different system in indicating the gold content of their jewelry. 18K gold is marked with 750 to show its 75% gold or 750 out of 1000 parts gold. Jewelries marked with 585 for 58.5% is 14K gold and 417 is 10K gold.

So are you wondering what should you purchase? First and foremost, it depends on your budget. Naturally the more gold content a piece of jewelry has, the higher the price. Pure gold is durable, so it is advisable for jewelry you wear on a regular basis. Consider if you have allergies with other metals in which case you need to choose jewelry with high gold content like 18K and 22K. And lastly, gold plated or filled jewelry is for seldom use only. Over time, the gold layer diminishes which eventually exposes the metal underneath.
