The alloying of gold and its carat number

The wonderful shine and sparkle of gold jewelry are given by precious gold, a precious metal that has been highly valued for thousands of years. However, 24 K, i.e. pure gold, is very soft for jewelry making, so it is combined with various other metals to make its properties more ideal for jewelry making.

24 K means 100% gold, and compared to this, the gold content in the given alloy may vary proportionally; 18 K, 14 K, 9 K; many K numbers are possible. Its main alloying materials are silver and copper; nickel, palladium alloy, zinc or copper are added to white gold, copper to rose gold.

The most popular is the traditional yellow gold, which has long fascinated humanity with its dazzling sunbeam-like shine.

Today, gold is the most valuable precious metal commonly purchased, and it is also suitable as an investment in the long term, it holds its value and is timeless.

Jewelry and other items made of gold are demanding, high-quality, valuable items; they give their owner great pleasure.

About 10% of the world's annual gold production is used in industry. It does not corrode and is a good conductor, which is why a significant amount of gold is used in the electronics industry, mostly in the production of semiconductors and microchips. For example, in our phones. Since it does not have any toxic effect on the living organism, its use in the food industry has also appeared nowadays. For example, in exclusive restaurants, you can find dishes with edible gold on the menu. Another significant part of the annual gold consumption (approx. 45%) is made up of jewelery production.
