All about gold Pure gold is what we call 24 karat gold, and is a bright yellow. It is also very, very soft- so soft in fact that it can be scratched using your fingernail. It is also expensive- selling now at a near high point of over $1000 US an ounce. For the reasons above gold is almost never used in jewelery in its pure form. Apart from the bright yellow colour and the cost becoming astronomical very quickly, the fact that it is so soft does not lend itself to jewelery that will stand up to regular wear and tear. Explaining karats Pure gold is melted and mixed or alloyed with other metals to help make it stronger. The amount of the other metals changes the karat. Gold that is equal parts pure...

In jewellery applications, this can mean that delicate work is easily damaged or broken through the slightest of knocks. Adding another base metal to the silver gives it greater durability and strength. Sterling silver has this additional alloy and is only 92.5% silver. The additional metal is usually copper (7.5%).
