Order Genuine

Perhaps, almost everyone had to buy jewelry at least once in his life and, perhaps, some of the buyers faced a problem of bad quality jewelry. To make it an exciting procedure, not just a waste of time and money, you can follow some tips given below.

In this article we are going to speak about gold, the symbol of luxury and richness. Pure gold of 24 karat is usually mixed with other metal to make it harder and increase its durability. So, the karat mark means how much gold is in this very alloy. The higher is the karat mark, the better is the quality and more expensive is the jewel.

Such marking is not obligatory according to the law. Behind the mark you can see a name, some symbol or just initials of the company, it is its registered trademark. If there is nothing like such signs, you’d better not buy this item at all, because the quality is not guaranteed.

You can find solid gold items. “Solid” means that the item is not hollow, but it is still not pure gold. “Gold plated” means that the base metal is not gold and there is only a thin outer layer of gold. The item can be plated in several ways: mechanically, electroplated and etc. You should remember that such a layer of gold wears out, thus, layer thickness means a lot!

If there is a mark of 1 karat on a gold plated item, we can call such jewel “gold-filled”, “gold overlay” or “rolled gold”. If the gold percentage is lower, it must be stated as well, for instance, 1/30 15K Gold-Filled.

When gold was electroplated, the outer layer was bonded by means of electrolytic process and the thickness of the layer is not less than 10 karat. If you see such marking as “gold washed” or “gold flashed”, it implies a very thin gold layer, deposited by electroplating. Such items have the worst durability.

Just keep in mind all these tips, be careful when choosing gold presents for yourself or your friends and everything will be all right!
