Gold – Description and Background

Gold has been a symbol of wealth and luxury for centuries. When purchasing gold jewellery, the carat (ct) determines its purity:

• 9ct Gold (375 parts per 1000) – Durable and affordable, ideal for everyday wear.
• 14ct Gold (585 parts per 1000) – Offers a richer hue with increased gold content, balancing durability and luxury.
• 15ct Gold (Pre-1932, 625 parts per 1000) – Found in antique jewellery, it has a unique charm and historical significance.
• 18ct Gold (750 parts per 1000) – High-quality gold with a deep, rich colour, ideal for fine jewellery.

Each type of gold offers unique benefits, ensuring a piece suited to different styles and preferences.
