All About 18kt Gold: Useful Trivia for Purchasing Gold

There has been a lot of confusion amongst gold buyers in terms of its purity and the unit of its purity. Let’s put an end to that. First, the unit of the purity of gold is Karat and not Carat. Second, 100 per cent gold is never used to make jewellery. Even the next level of purity, 99.9 per cent pure or 24kt gold, is also not used for making jewellery as it is prone to wear and tear, scratches, deformation, and breakage due to pure gold’s highly ductile nature. Would you want to pay all your money for the purity and end up with jewellery that’s not going to last you a lifetime? No, right? That’s where the next levels of purity come into the picture.

Pure gold is treated with parts of a variety of other metals, such as nickel, palladium, zinc, etc., to give strength and stability to gold. 18kt gold contains 75 per cent pure gold and is the best purity to make a wide range of shapes and sizes of jewellery. 18kt is also the best purity to work with while making diamond studded jewellery as it has the strength to hold heavy stones, such as diamonds and other gemstones. Many a time, the purity is mentioned as a three-digit number on the jewellery. When you buy 18k jewellery designs, the number you should find is 750, representing 75 per cent purity.

Gold is Not Always Yellow: Different Colours of 18kt Gold Jewellery

A common notion around gold is that if it’s pure then it has to be yellow. In reality, gold with 18kt purity can have a plethora of different colours — the most common colours are white and rose gold. While with the reducing purity the natural yellow colour of gold becomes less bright, the change in colour can also be achieved by mixing in a variety of alloys that lend the desired colour to gold.

White gold is created by mixing silver or nickel and manganese or palladium with pure gold. Jewellery made with white gold is coated with rhodium for an unmatched sheen. Similarly, rose gold is obtained by mixing pure gold with copper and addition of more copper results in a redder colour. There are a variety of pieces in our collection that have dual tones too. These are the epitome of creativity that you’ll find only when you look for jewellery at BlueStone.
