How to Buy 14KCZ Gold Jewelry
Gold jewelry never goes out of style, and for good reason, because gold is as wearer-friendly
as it is beautiful. Pure gold doesn't react with other elements to create tarnish, the residue
that accumulates on some metals before transferring to your skin as a stain. Sometimes
people have allergy or staining problems with metals that are combined with gold, but the
gold itself is rarely a problem.Gold can be worked into nearly any shape, including tiny
strands that do not break easily. One ounce of gold can even be hammered into an ultra thin
sheet that's ten feet square. Gold can be manipulated nearly any way the artisan desires.
How Pure Is Your Gold Jewelry?
Chances are the ring on your finger is marked 18K, 14K, or 10K, with the K standing for
karat, the system used to describe the percentage of pure gold an item contains. The higher
the karat number, the higher the percentage of gold in your gold jewelry.

Why Are Other Metals Mixed With Gold?
You'll find examples of pure gold jewelry, but pure gold is soft and isn't practical for daily wear. Other
metals are mixed with it to make it more durable (and to lower its cost). Adding other metals to the
mix also allows metallurgists to change the color of gold. Palladium or nickel can be added to
create white gold. Adding copper produces a rose or pink tint, while silver gives gold a greenish
cast. When metals are added to the gold the result is an alloy, a blended mixture of the metals that
you can think of as a very expensive cake batter. Solid gold is a term that can be used to describe an
item that's at least 10K (in the US) gold all the way through. Even though it's a gold alloy--18K,
14K, or anything down to 10K--it can be called solid gold.
