How pure is gold, it is understood through carat. For example, 24 karat gold is considered the purest. Other metals are not found in it. Whereas other metals are mixed in 22 carat and 18 carat gold. Despite being the purest, jewelery is not made from 24 carat purity gold. It is kept safe in the form of a gold brick. Know, despite being so true, why jewelery is not made from it…
Before answering this, let us understand the purity of gold. Gold is mainly available in three categories. 18 carat, 22 carat and 24 carat. This carat only tells which gold is more real. For example, 24 carat gold is considered pure up to 99.9 percent. At the same time, 92 percent gold and 8 percent other metals in 22 carat gold. At the same time, 75 percent gold and 25 percent other metals are found in 18 carat gold.
Now let’s understand why jewelry is not made from 24 carat pure gold. Due to the low density of 24 carat gold, it is soft. There is a danger of twisting or breaking of the jewelry made from them. Therefore, 22 carat gold is used to make jewelry because other metals are mixed in it so that the things made from it remain hard.
Jewelry made of 22 carat gold is durable. This does not mean at all that gold of 24 carat purity is not used. This gold is used for investment, since it is pure up to 99.9 percent, so it is invested by keeping it in the form of bricks or coins.
Experts say, when any other metal like silver is mixed in gold, then its effect is seen. For example, if a jewelry has 22 parts gold and 2 parts silver, then its purity remains 91.67 percent. The hardness in the jewelery prepared from this is due to silver. The more silver you get, the harder it will become.
