What Is A Karat?

A Karat is defined as a unit of measure for the fineness of gold, equal to 1/24 part. Pure gold is 24 karat (24k); gold that is 50 percent pure is 12 karat (12k).

Most commonly used for jewelry are 22k, 18k, 14k, 12k and 10k.

24k gold, although the most valuable, is less used in jewelry because it is considered softer and more delicate. On the other hand, 10k is the most widely used where durability is important, i.e. men's rings. Men's rings are usually made in 10k or 12k gold.

Incidentally, 10k is also the minimum designation used in the US.

Cleaning Your Gold Jewelry

I have a question for you... when was the last time you cleaned your gold jewelry?

Regular cleaning is necessary in order to maintain your gold jewelry's beauty and shine. Fortunately, it's fairly simple to clean them. All you need is to wash them with lukewarm soapy water, rinse and dry them with a clean soft cloth. That's it!

So, when are you planning to clean your gold jewelry... hmmm? :)
