Overview of Gold

The gold is a metal which is highly prized. The color of pure one is bright and glitter yellow. It is a soft metal. It is very popular since the dawn of history. The earliest people used it to make fashion ornaments. At early age, people were trained to make jewelry by using gold. They were trained as goldsmiths.

Gold is rarely found in pure 24k state. It is generally associated with silver and often with mercury. Gold in a pure state is very malleable and can be hammered into very thin sheets. If the silver content is more in gold mass, naturally it’s called electrum. It is only visible in a highly polished surface or can be viewed through a microscope.

Gold is a metal which is not affected by any gases in atmosphere, even by oxygen.  That’s why it doesn’t get tarnished. Tarnishing is the result of the reaction of metal to oxygen. Gold is very malleable, it is flexible to the point that it can be hammered into a leaf or sheet of foil 3/1,000,000 inch thick (0.000003 inches) on an area around 6 square feet. The thin sheet is semi-transparent and transmits a greenish light through the leaf.

Since gold is too soft, it is made into alloy in order to make jewelry.  Gold alloy has less ductility but its malleability remains constant. But, when high percentages of copper are added to the alloy, it is perfect for jewelry making. For white gold alloys, nickel is the one mixed into it. Zinc is also added and it lightens the color. The zinc is used in gold alloys to absorb the oxygen and prevent silver and copper oxidation.

Several people are familiar with jewelry made in 14k gold known as yellow gold or white gold.  For jewelry, it is also milled in faint shades of green and red.  Red gold is refined copper but doesn’t tarnish like copper.  Green gold is shading to 14k yellow but has a minor greenish cast.

So, when you are going to sell your jewelry, dealers only quote price for the percentage of gold it contains. They first measure the purity in term of karat. After that, the mass of gold is multiplied with the market rate. Thus, you should know what quality you have so you could get a better price. You cannot get money for the whole weight of your jewelry because it is alloyed with other metals.
