Quick Gold Jewelry Buying Guide
February 18, 2020 Gold, Guide Josephs Jewelry

Are you excited to buy your next (or first) gold jewelry piece? Here is what you want to know about buying gold jewelry online or at your local jewelry store.

What You Want to Pay Attention to When Buying Gold Jewelry

What is a Karat?

A “carat” is a unit used to measure the weight for diamonds and gemstones. A “karat”, when referring to gold, is a unit of gold purity. 24-karat gold is pure gold, however lower karats are mixed with other metals like alloy, silver, or copper. 24-karat gold is the softest of all the gold karats because it is pure gold. Adding other metals add to the jewelry’s strength.

“Karat” originated from a German gold coin called a mark, which was extremely common a thousand years ago. A mark weighed 24 carats (4.8 grams), and pure gold. The term stuck around, and is recognized globally.

What are Karat Weights?

  • 24-karat: 24 parts gold + 0 added metals
  • 22-karat: 22 parts gold + 2 parts added metals
  • 18-karat: 18 parts gold + 6 parts added metals
  • 14-karat: 14 parts gold + 10 parts added metals
  • 10-karat: 10 parts gold + 14 parts added metals

If a piece of jewelry is made of 18 parts gold + 6 parts copper= 18-karat rose gold.
