| Gold Facts Jewelry is normally made from alloys, mixtures of two or more metals. Gold, for example, is alloyed (combined) with metals such as silver, copper and zinc to make it harder, to change its color and/or to reduce its cost. Platinum alloys are usually made by combining platinum with ruthenium, iridium, palladium, cobalt or copper.
When comparing fine jewelry prices, find out the platinum or gold content of the metal. It's called fineness-the amount of gold or platinum in relation to 1000 parts. For example, gold with a fineness of 750 has 750 parts (75%) gold and 250 parts of other metals. An alloy containing 95% platinum has a fineness of 950.
In some countries, the karat is also used as a measure of gold purity. One karat is 1/24 pure, so 24 karat represents pure gold. Metal containing 75% pure gold is 18 karat (18K) gold.
24K is 99.9% Gold
22K is 91.6% Gold
18K is 75.0% Gold
14K is 58.3.50% Gold
10K is 41.6% Gold
Why Dipped Gold? --> Gold Plated Composed of a layer of gold mechanically bonded to a base metal using heat and pressure. The gold layer is thin. The thickness of gold is less than 5 micron (5/1,000,000 inch thick). --> Gold Dipped Gold dipped is gold electrically bonded. It lasts longer than plated gold does. Bonding gold layer is at least 7/1,000,000 of an inch thick. The jewelry is dipped in a gold solution while an electrical current is used to bond the gold particles of the solution to the metal surface. The thickness of dipped gold is at least 7 micron comparing with plated gold, which is less than 5 microns thick.
Why Thai Baht Dipped Gold? Thai Baht gold is known for its color and purity. Thai Baht gold has high content of gold.
