Long considered the most precious of metals, gold is deeply woven into the very fabric of human culture. It captures our imagination and has inspired numerous legends and myths throughout the course of history. Gold has been treasured, hoarded, coveted and lavishly bestowed upon people, temples and objects of worship. Responsible for creating global currencies, starting wars, toppling empires, mass migrations and more, gold has helped shaped the course of human history - it is a metal that we are inextricably bound to.
Untarnishable, un-corrodible, it is the most malleable of metals, yet remains miraculously strong. While its rich luster has long influenced the affairs of state and religion, its primary use remains within the realms of personal adornment.
Frequently featuring as an integral part of antique and modern jewelry's numerous different forms, purchasers should be aware of what gold varieties are on offer and why. The following will shed some light on this ancient metal's application in today's market place.
Pure gold is relatively soft and as a consequence has durability problems. Ornate pieces of jewelry can be bent, and expensive gemstones can be lost from their settings. This unacceptable tendency of pure gold has largely given rise to the modern gold we find in the jewelers' window today.
Virtually all gold featured in jewelry today is alloyed with secondary metals that enhance its everyday durability. These gold alloys are so frequent, that in many countries many people find the color of pure gold peculiar! However, not all gold purities are the same. The different purities of gold alloys used by jewelers give consumers varying options regarding gold color, affordability and durability.
Gold purity is measured in karats. While the term "karat" may sound identical to the term "carat", which is used to measure weight in gemstones, the two terms do not have the same meaning. Karat ratio in gold tells you the percentage or proportion of gold purity. Gold with a higher karat ratio is comparatively more expensive gram for gram when compared to gold with lower karat ratios. Expressed as a ratio of 24 parts, the most frequently seen gold purities are:
24 Karat - 100 percent pure gold.
22 Karat - 91.7 percent pure gold.
18 Karat - 75 percent pure gold.
14 Karat - 58 percent pure gold.
10 Karat - 41.6 percent pure gold.
Gold should always have a stamped "k", or karat mark upon it that states its purity. U.S. law dictates that if a karat mark appears, then you should be able to see the manufacturer's trademark. In the U.S., nothing less than a 10 Karat purity can legally be sold as gold, however in other countries 9 Karat and even 8 Karat gold is legal.
Gold comes in a number of different colors offering consumers a wide choice when buying this lustrous precious metal:
Yellow Gold The most frequently seen gold type that displays a timeless color. Usually alloyed with silver and copper.
White Gold Harder than yellow gold with a bright lustrous white color, white gold is most commonly alloyed with palladium. Palladium, a rare and expensive precious metal, increases the value of white gold to above that of yellow gold.
Rose Gold Mostly alloyed with copper, this increasingly popular gold type has a striking pink to reddish hue.
Topaz is well known to be yellow, and in ancient times all yellow stones were called topaz. Nowadays we know better. Topaz can also be colorless, blue, green, pink, orange or brown. In the last 10 years or so, jewelers' windows have become filled with blue topaz, which is very attractive and inexpensive, and has to some extent become a substitute for Ceylon sapphire. Blue topaz does occur naturally, but almost all commercially available blue topaz is produced from less attractive colors which are irradiated and heat treated to turn them blue. This treatment produces a stable color.
There are distinct hues of blue topaz, which we presume arise because of the different treatments. The most usual colors are known as "London Blue", "Swiss Blue" and "Sky Blue", we have listed these in order from the deepest to the palest colors.
Blue is a color that has fascinated mankind for many hundred years. It probably has something to do with the blue sky and deep blue oceans given to us by Mother Nature. Blue Topaz Gemstones are another example of how blue color impresses fashion conscious jewelry lovers. Topaz gemstones are available in a range of blue shades, starting with the very pale sky blue topaz, moving on the more pronounced and brighter blues of Swiss blue topaz and finally the deep blue color of London blue topaz gems.
