Karat

‘Karat’ is the measure of the purity or fineness of gold. Pure gold is very soft, so when it is used to make jewelry, it is generally alloyed, or mixed, with metals such as Silver, Copper, Nickel, or Zinc.

24 karat gold (24k) is considered purest and is extremely soft and malleable. Jewelry pieces are most often not made with 24-karat gold because they would not be durable.

18 karat gold (18k) is an alloy composed of 75% gold and 25% other alloys. This purity of Gold is best suited for creating jewelry as it combines pure gold with just enough alloys to allow durability.

14 karat gold (14k) is composed of approximately 58% Gold and 42% other alloys. This is the most popular purity of gold due to its balance of beauty and affordability.

Other karats of gold can be alloyed to meet market needs.

At Aupulent, we provide you with an option of 18k and 14k gold for the most advantageous appeal, durability, and affordability.

Color

Gold in its natural form is yellow. In addition, the two alternate colors are White Gold and Rose Gold.

White Gold is comprised of Gold that has been alloyed with white metals—typically nickel or palladium—to create its color.

Rose Gold is created by mixing gold with copper. Copper along with lesser amounts of white-colored metal alloys are responsible for its pink color. Because Rose Gold contains copper, it will develop a deeper, more intense color over time.

Hallmarks are inscriptions that guarantee the purity of the precious metal used in jewelry.
