Gold Jewelry 101

There are some things you should know about this most precious metal before you go out buying. The assumption being you are going to spend quite a lot, it would be better if you knew something about it. Gold does not itch, and will not leave you with skin irritations. If it does, then it has been alloyed with some other non-precious metal.

Gold is measured in karats and ranges from 10K to 24K. The higher the karat number goes, the purer the gold and the pricier it is. When buying gold jewelry, it’s advised you get the trademark so you can have some faith in the quality, based on the country of origin.
