Tell apart different gold-s

Each metal has its own advantages and disadvantages. After learning about platinum and karat white gold, let's talk about the differences between other types of gold.

It is needless to say how much gold attracts people. In addition to being a symbol of identity and wealth, gold is also said to attract wealth and exorcise evil spirits in traditional culture.

At present, the common gold jewelry on the market can be roughly divided into full gold, K gold and lottery gold.

1. Pure gold

Pure gold is marked with Au990/Au999, G990/G999.

The "GOLD990" or "G990" mark refers to the gold jewelry with the gold content not less than 990 in the thousandth ratio.

Similarly, gold jewelry marked with "GOLD999 or G999" refers to gold jewelry with gold content no less than 999 in thousandth ratio.

2. Karat gold

K gold has high hardness, good ductility, and is not easy to deform and wear off. Compared with other metals, it is more suitable for inlaying diamonds and gemstones, and has good cost performance.

The marks marked on K gold - "9K", "14K", "18K" or "24K" refer to the proportion of gold in a 24 ratio.

For example, 18K gold jewelry, with a gold content of 75% (18/24), will also be marked with AU750 on the jewelry.

3. Colored gold

Colored gold is a kind of K gold, the combination of gold with other metals, such as aluminum, silver, cadmium, palladium, etc., making the jewelry appear purple, pink, blue, green, gray and other colors.

Therefore, the mark of colored gold is consistent with that of K gold.
