Welcome
back to Stories of a Country Jeweler! We are continuing the educational theme
of the last few posts, and are back to answer more of your questions about
gold! Today's question is: what is the difference between karats of gold? Can
you make colored gold in different karats?
Simply
put, the karat of gold is the percent weight of pure gold that is within the
metal alloy. For example, 24k gold is gold that is %100 pure, while 10k gold is
gold that only has 41.7% pure gold within its alloy. Here is the full list of
commonly referenced karats:
24
karat = 100% gold (or "Pure" gold)
22
karat = 91.7 % gold
18
karat = 75.0 % gold
14
karat = 58.3 % gold
12
karat = 50.0 % gold
10
karat = 41.7 % gold
Is
there really a noticeable difference between karats of gold though? Yes.
Definitely. Pure gold (24k) is an incredibly bright yellow, soft, and heavy
metal. While the warm golden color is beautiful, 24k is actually not the best
karat for jewelry that is meant to be worn everyday: every scratch and dent
will be visible in this soft metal. We work mostly in 14k (and some 18k)
because at 14k the alloy has been strengthened with other metals which make the
gold more resilient for everyday use.
What
makes up the other percentage in the gold alloy will depend on the color of
gold that is desired. If yellow gold is what is desired, silver and copper are
added to the alloy. If rose gold is the aim, silver and copper will still be
added, but the ratio of silver to copper will not be the same as in yellow
gold. More copper is added, which gives the gold its beautiful rosy color!
