Learn About Gold Jewelry Gold- classic, elegant, forever…
Gold is the most classic metal used in jewelry making and symbolizes wealth and prestige. Extremely malleable, gold can be easily crafted into ornate and unique shapes- making it a favorite with many jewelry designers. However, since gold is so soft it is almost always alloyed with other metals to make it durable enough for everyday wear and use. The metal mixed with the gold is what gives each piece its own unique color. Gold can come in yellow, rose, white, red or black; the first three colors being the most common and traditional. Some people might have allergic reactions to the metals mixed with gold but just because you have an allergy to one color or karat of gold does not mean that you will react negatively to all gold. Luckily, the extreme range of colors and karats which gold is available in make it a wonderful metal for almost everyone.
Get the Facts
Pure gold is represented by Au or the number 79 on the periodic table and is signified by the stamp 999 on jewelry. Though incredibly dense, 24 karat gold is too soft to maintain a constant shape (one ounce can be hammered into a 300 square foot sheet of metal) so most jewelry ranges between 14 karat (58.3% gold) to 18 karat (75% gold). Gold is very resistant to tarnish, rust and corrosion but should still not be exposed to chlorine or abrasive cleaning products. If exposed regularly to these chemicals gold will lose its natural, shiny, yellow color. Rhodium, a very hard white metal, is often used to coat white gold so it maintains its white luster. If white gold begins to show a yellow tint, it is probably because the rhodium finish has worn off. In this case, the piece of jewelry may be easily re-coated with rhodium to bring it back to its original white luster
Gold Price
Gold is used by the Treasury of many countries in the world as a monetary measure. Since it is a commodity, the price of gold continually changes. At Day’s we follow gold market prices closely and do our best to purchase large quantities of gold jewelry when prices are lowest. This allows us the opportunity to pass on significant savings to our customers. |
Gold Care and Earring SizingGold Care:
Gold does not tarnish and its beauty remains constant for years. The two elements that are most destructive to gold jewelry are mercury and chlorine. For this reason, Day's Jewelers recommends removing your gold jewelry before entering a swimming pool, hot tub or coming in contact with bleach or other products containing chlorine. It is also a good idea to remove some gold chains at night and store them flat to avoid kinking or breaking. Gold pieces should never be kept in the same pouch because rubbing together may cause scratching and wearing away of the gold. This is even more likely if the jewelry contains diamonds or other hard gemstones.
If you find that gold jewelry is leaving your skin discolored, the problem is not actually with the gold. Each person has a different level of skin acidity and this can react with alloys within gold jewelry. This reaction may leave smudges on the skin's surface. Talc, found in cosmetics, medicated creams, lotions, and toothpaste, may get lodged on the underside of jewelry, and can cause smudging. Such particles abrade the jewelry metals, depositing gold particles on the skin that appear dark since they are too small to reflect light.
White gold is yellow gold mixed with nickel, zinc, and other metals to give it the white color. White gold will always have a yellow tint. To mask the yellow tint, it is usually coated with rhodium. Rhodium is a very hard white metal. Over time, the rhodium plating will wear away causing white gold jewelry to appear yellow. When this happens, your white gold jewelry can be re-rhodium plated to return the bright, white finish.
Day's Jewelers has a staff of trained professionals in each of our stores that would be happy to clean your gold jewelry for you while you wait. If it's not convenient for you to stop by one of our locations, you can clean most gold jewelry with jewelry cleaner or mild soap and ammonia, using a soft bristle brush.
Day's Jewelers can customize gold jewelry by engraving a personal message of your choosing on the piece.
Should anything ever happen to your gold jewelry, Day's Jewelers has in-house professional goldsmiths who can repair, resize, or alter it.
Earring Sizing:
Generally, the only earrings that are able to be altered in size are dangle or drop styles which can be shortened.
It is common for the width or thickness of an earring to be expressed in millimeters. The chart below compares centimeters to inches. One centimeter is equal to 10 millimeters.
