Types of gold<\/span><\/h2>\n

(Credit: Jasmin Chew<\/a> \/ Unsplash [Cropped])<\/figcaption><\/figure>The purest form of gold available is 999 gold (also known as 24K gold). The karat system is used to measure the ratio of gold in relation to other alloys. Hence, the higher the karat, the purer the gold and the higher its value. However, other factors such as the weight of the gold and the design of the jewellery piece may also contribute to its overall price. Check out the table below for a clearer picture of what level of purity each type of gold has:<\/span><\/p>\n

Is plated gold real gold?<\/span><\/h2>\n

In short, the answer is no. While it might be hard for the naked eye to differentiate between pure gold and plated jewellery, the type of materials used can mean a big difference in price. Plating is the process of coating a thin layer of gold onto a metal (usually silver or brass), and gold plated jewellery is often a more budget-friendly option compared to real gold pieces. If budget is a concern, check out the gold plated options (#10, #11 below) for beautiful rose-gold plated jewellery!<\/span><\/p>\n
