Understanding Gold and Its Variants

Gold has been valued for centuries for its beauty and rarity. The carat (ct) system is used to indicate the purity of gold, with different carat levels offering various benefits in terms of durability, price, and colour.

Gold Carat Classifications

• 9ct Gold (375 Hallmark) – Contains 37.5% pure gold mixed with other metals such as silver and copper, making it durable and affordable.
• 14ct Gold (585 Hallmark) – Contains 58.5% pure gold, offering a balance between durability and luxury.
• 15ct Gold (625 Hallmark, pre-1932) – A historical gold standard containing 62.5% pure gold, commonly found in antique jewellery.
• 18ct Gold (750 Hallmark) – Contains 75% pure gold, giving it a rich colour and luxurious appeal, often used in high-end jewellery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Gold Purity

1. What is the best gold purity for durability?
   9ct gold is the most durable due to its lower gold content, making it ideal for everyday wear.

2. Why is 18ct gold more expensive than 9ct gold?
   18ct gold contains a higher percentage of pure gold, increasing its value and richness in colour.

3. Is 15ct gold still available today?
   No, 15ct gold was discontinued in 1932, but it can still be found in antique jewellery.

4. How do I verify gold authenticity?
   Always check for hallmarks, which indicate the purity and origin of the gold piece.

Why Hallmarks Matter
