Gold jewelry Necklace pendant chain King chain 14K, 18K, 24K gold?
The gold content of gold jewelry is indicated in carats, where 24 carats (24K) means pure 100% gold. Due to the softness of gold, jewelry is usually not made of pure gold, but different amounts of alloy metals are mixed with the gold. Both to improve its durability, but also to lower manufacturing costs, since gold is expensive, these alloys are not. The most valuable gold jewelry is made of 18K and 22K gold, where the gold's share of the total weight is significant, and the jewelry also has real value.
The more real gold a piece of jewelry contains, the greater its value, both as an investment and as jewelry, naturally. 18K jewelry already contains 75% of real gold and is the most common option in the world. In some traditional gold-valuing countries like India, the highest demand is for 22K gold jewelry, which is 91.7% pure gold. Such jewelry retains its value because of the gold it contains and also the resale value is always higher than "gold jewelry" with 14K or even less gold, often called "trinket gold". In Finland, unfortunately, many settle for these 9k-14k "trinket gold jewelry", or even gold-plated jewelry where there is practically no gold at all. The share of gold in these pieces of jewelry remains so small that the price mainly consists of manufacturing costs and the costs and margins of various intermediate steps, and such jewelry does not have much real value or resale value.
The value of gold jewelry Necklace King chain
In real 18K and 22K gold jewelry, the price normally consists mainly of the gold it contains, which retains its value, and when the price of gold rises, so does the value of the jewelry. In this sense, genuine 18K or purer gold jewelry can also be an investment! The gold content is also of great importance to the appearance and weight of the jewelry. In a real 18K or purer piece of jewelry, the color is a genuine golden yellow, the characteristic sparkle of gold is at a completely different level than in those containing less gold, and also the weight distinguishes real gold jewelry from these "trinket gold jewelry". In genuine 18K and 22K gold jewelry, the high specific gravity of the gold gives the jewelry the sense of dignity it deserves, even for the wearer.
When buying gold jewelry, always make sure the actual gold content of the jewelry, and the amount of pure gold contained in the jewelry. By comparing it to the market price of gold, you can quickly see what the true value of the piece of jewelry is, and how much "air" there is in the price, manufacturing and other ancillary costs, as well as the costs and margins of the different sales steps.
You will not find jewelry containing 14K "trinket gold" in the Gemtrade selection. In our carefully selected jewelry selections, all gold jewelry has a gold content of at least 18K (75%).
