Gold Purity Explained: 9ct, 14ct, 15ct, and 18ct

Gold purity is measured in carats (ct), indicating the percentage of gold content in a piece.

• 9ct Gold (375) – 37.5% gold, mixed with other metals for strength, making it durable and affordable.
• 14ct Gold (585) – 58.5% gold, offering a good balance of durability and purity.
• 15ct Gold (625) – A rare old standard used in antique jewellery, containing 62.5% gold.
• 18ct Gold (750) – 75% pure gold, providing a rich colour and superior value.

Gold jewellery is widely used for rings, necklaces, bracelets, and brooches, with higher carat gold preferred for fine and luxury jewellery, while lower carats offer affordability and strength for daily wear.

FAQs – Gold Jewellery

2. Does gold tarnish over time?

   • Pure gold does not tarnish, but lower carat gold can develop slight tarnish due to alloy metals.

3. What is the best gold for daily wear?

   • 9ct and 14ct gold are ideal for daily wear due to their strength.

6. Is white gold the same as silver?

   • No, white gold is mixed with white metals and often rhodium-plated, while silver is a pure metal alloy.

7. What does ‘solid gold’ mean?

   • It means the piece is made entirely of gold rather than being gold-plated or gold-filled.

Understanding Hallmarks & Their Importance

Hallmarks are official stamps on precious metal items to certify purity, origin, and authenticity. In the UK, hallmarking is legally required for silver, gold, and platinum jewellery.

A hallmark typically includes:

• Fineness Mark: Indicates gold or silver purity (e.g., 925 for sterling silver).
• Assay Office Mark: Shows where the metal was tested (London, Birmingham, Sheffield, or Edinburgh).
• Maker’s Mark: Identifies the manufacturer.
• Date Letter (optional): Found on older pieces to indicate production year.

Always check hallmarks when buying jewellery to ensure authenticity and value.
