SOLID GOLD

Gold is basically soft metal that is yellow, gold defined in Karate. karat is 4.1666% pure gold. The definition of pure gold is 24 karat gold.
Gold is a soft metal by itself and would wear away with daily use, so Jewelry can’t be produced In 24 carat gold. so the gold is mixed in high heat with additional elements such as alloy, copper, silver, zinc, nickel and palladium, in order to form hard metal in different colors.

With the addition of gold to more copper we can produce rose gold, if we add to gold more silver we can manufacture yellow gold, if we add gold palladium we can create white gold.

The main difference between 14k and 18k is the amount of pure gold in the piece.

18k gold has more pure gold in it butis softer, meaning it wears easily along with being more expensive. 14k gold has less pure gold in it so is harder and stronger.

• 18 carat gold = 75% pure gold + 25% additions . the 18k gold mark is 750.
• 14 carat gold = 58.5% Pure gold + 41.5% Additions . 14k gold mark is 585.
• 9 carat gold = 37.5% pure gold + 62.5% Additions . 9 carat gold mark is 375.
We would always recommend 14k gold for the perfect balance of beauty and function
