Gold Jewelry Introduction:-
Gold is one of the most important metals known to man. For almost all of history, gold has played a role
as jewellery, currency and in technology. The first pure gold coins were struck by King Croesus of Lydia
during his reign between 560 and 547 BC and gold coins have continued to be used since that time. Gold
has also been used as jewellery, as decoration in ceremonies and to signify leadership and success in the
form of crowns and medals.
Uses for Gold
The most famous use of gold is in jewellery. Gold necklaces, bracelets, wedding rings, engagement rings,
rings, tiaras and even crowns can all be made from gold. Gold is ideal for jewellery because it can easily
be set with precious jewels, shaped into any style and is easy to maintain. Gold also has other uses. Gold
has been used as money by most major cultures and economies have been underpinned by the value of
gold. Gold, therefore, is essential to
society.
Gold is also used in industry and technology as it is conductive, ductile and malleable.Colour
Gold is available in a variety of colours depending on what it has been alloyed with. Gold with a
high copper content has a red finish and is known as Rose Gold. Gold that has a rhodium finish
is known as white gold and is one of the most popular colours of gold for jewellery
today.Sometimes the different colours of gold are combined together. A Russian wedding ring
for example, traditionally features white, rose and yellow gold. Jewellery that features two
different gold colours is known as two-colour gold and gold with three colours is known as three-
colour gold.
Gold Facts One of the reasons gold is important to us is that it is relatively easy to mine, however, 75% of all of the
gold ever mined has been mined since 1910. Gold is a chemical element with the symbol AU, from the
Latin aurum. It is the most ductile of all metals and the most malleable. This means that it can easily be
stretched into wire or shaped by hammering, making it ideal for jewelry. In fact a gram of gold can be
beaten into a sheet that measures three hundred square feet.
