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.
Besides being "a girl's Best Friend", diamond is the April birthstone. The word is derived from the Greek "adamas" meaning "unconquerable". It is the symbol of enduring romance and love and a sure way to impress your sweetie with your undying affection.
Diamond is an allotrope of carbon. It is the hardest known natural material and the third-hardest known material after aggregated diamond nanorods and ultrahard fullerite. Its hardness and high dispersion of light make it useful for industrial applications and jewelry.
Diamonds are specifically renowned as a material with superlative physical qualities; they make excellent abrasives because they can be scratched only by other diamonds, Borazon, ultrahard fullerite, or aggregated diamond nanorods, which also means they hold a polish extremely well and retain their lustre. Approximately 130 million carats (26,000 kg) are mined annually, with a total value of nearly USD $9 billion, and about 100,000 kg are synthesized annually.
The name diamond derives from the ancient Greek adamas (αδάμας; “invincible”). They have been treasured as gemstones since their use as religious icons in ancient India and usage in engraving tools also dates to early human history. Popularity of diamonds has risen since the 19th century because of increased supply, improved cutting and polishing techniques, growth in the world economy, and innovative and successful advertising campaigns. They are commonly judged by the “four Cs”: carat, clarity, color, and cut.

Roughly 49% of diamonds originate from central and southern Africa, although significant sources of the mineral have been discovered in Canada, India, Russia, Brazil, and Australia. They are mined from kimberlite and lamproite volcanic pipes, which brought to the surface the diamond crystals from deep in the Earth where the high pressure and temperature enables the formation of the crystals. The mining and distribution of natural diamonds are subjects of frequent controversy such as with concerns over the sale of conflict diamonds (aka blood diamonds) by African paramilitary groups.
