Gold in Combination with Other Precious Metals

Sponsored Post: Gold could be alloyed with other metals such as copper, silver, and platinum to increase its durability, according to craftsmen. Since then, gold has been used to make jewelry out of an alloy of gold and one or more other metals, and people have readily accepted this concept. Is it possible that adapting to this alloy could be beneficial in the new world? You could  learn more about how valuable these precious metals are by reading this article. 

A standard of exchange known as "karatage" was developed to designate the gold content of these alloys. Pure gold is known as 24 karat gold and is always marked as "24K". An alloy that is approximately 50% gold by weight is known as 12 karat gold and is marked as "12K". An alloy that contains approximately 75% gold by weight is 18 karat and marked "18K".

In general, good karat jewelry is softer and more resistant to tarnish, while bad karat jewelry is stronger and less resistant to tarnish, especially when in contact with perspiration. Alloying gold with other metals potentially changes the color of the finished products. Check disclaimer on profile.
