Gold jewelry will never go out of style because gold is as wearer-friendly as it is beautiful. Pure gold doesn't react with other elements to create tarnish. Sometimes people have allergy problems with metals that are combined with gold, but the gold itself is rarely a problem.
Ever since its discovery 5,000 years ago, gold has been treasured for its unmatched luster, beauty and intrinsic value. Today, gold continues to enjoy widespread appeal as an investment and storehouse of value. Gold is an internationally recognized monetary and financial asset held in reserve by major governments. It is so rare that all the gold ever mined could fit into a cube measuring just 20 yards on each side.
Gold is a heavy, yellow, metallic chemical element. It is precious metal, with a high degree of ductility and malleability, that is used in the manufacture of a wide range of products including jewelry, electronics, and coinage. Gold forms in high temperature hydrothermal quartz veins. These veins carry the gold to the earth’s surface through super heated solutions and this material deposits in fissures to form ore bodies. Erosion of the host rock by wind and water washes the gold from the ore bodies. Some of the gold stays near the vein and water carries some of the gold into rivers and streams. The gold nuggets found in rivers and streams are known as placer gold while the gold found in ore bodies and veins is known as lode gold. Typically, the old timers would follow placer deposits to the source, or lode gold, and then start hard rock mining.
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.
Peridot is a gem stone that can be worn as jewelry for daily wear. This gemstone, usually bright yellow-green in color, complements a light summer outfit. Peridot, which is the birthstone for the month of August, has often been confused with other green colored stones, like emeralds. It has also called the poor man’s emerald.
Peridot has been used in jewelry, combined with diamonds and is a current favorite too among gem stone enthusiasts. Its use in jewelry goes back to the Egyptian era. The fashion world has recently developed a preference for the color green, and hence the popularity of this gemstone has also increased. It also requires no special care and makes an affordable gem stone. Peridot can be used alone as a pendant or in combination with silver, gold and diamonds.
