History of Gold
One of the earth’s most precious metals, gold has been treasured throughout the ages. Ancient civilizations associated gold with the sun and believed it to possess mystical and healing powers. Gold’s enduring beauty and permanence make it the most popular choice for jewelry. Extremely durable, gold will not corrode and is remarkably resistant to tarnishing.
The unit of measurement of gold content is the "karat", a term derived from the carob seed which was used as a weight to balance scales. Gold content is measured on a 24-unit scale, with 24 karat gold equivalent to 100% pure gold. As pure gold is quite malleable, it is alloyed with other metals to increase its strength. The higher the karat gold, the heavier the ring and the richer the color.
