Gold jewelry never goes out of style because gold is as wearer-friendly as it is beautiful. Pure gold doesn't react with other elements to create tarnish, When metals are added to the gold the result is an alloy, a blended mixture of the metals that you can think of as a very expensive cake batter. Solid gold is a term that can be used to describe an item that's at least 10K (in the US) gold all the way through. Even though it's a gold alloy--18K, 14K, or anything down to 10K--it can be called solid gold.The purity of gold is measured in carats. s p24ct is pure gold; any carat below this is a gold alloy, a mix of gold and other metals.The colour of gold – yellow gold, white gold or rose gold – is achieved through the mix of metals in the alloy. By definition, it isn’t possible to find 24ct white or rose gold. As an alloy with the lowest gold to metal ratio (9 parts gold, 15 parts metal), 9ct gold makes the most durable gold jewellery, suitable for daily wear and most resistant to scratching.Gold jewellery can be restored to its former shine by polishing with a soft, lint-free cloth.
