About Gold Jewelry

Gold Purity

The purity of gold is measured in karats. Pure gold measures 24 karats but is too soft in this state to be used effectively in jewelry. So it is alloyed with other metals--silver, copper, nickel, and zinc--to increase its strength and durability. Common measurements once the alloy is added are 18 karat (75% gold), 14 karat (58%), and 10 karat (47.7%). In the United States, the legal karat limit for the metal to still be considered gold is 10 karats. A higher karat measurement in gold content indicates a greater value of the jewelry piece. Gold jewelry should always be stamped with the karat mark, either 18k, 750 (European marking for 18k), 14k, 585 (European marking for 14k), or 10k. In addition, to assure its quality, the piece should be stamped with the manufacturer's trademark or country of origin.

Gold Color

The color of gold may vary based off of the type of metal alloy included and the percentage of the metal alloy used. Most commonly, gold is available in yellow, white and rose coloring.

Yellow gold is the most common color and is usually alloyed with silver and copper. Yellow and white gold are similar in strength and malleability, making them perfect for jewelry that is worn daily.

White gold is alloyed with nickel, copper, and zinc--and while it looks similar to platinum, it has vastly different properties.

Rose-colored gold is alloyed with copper and is often used to accent white or yellow gold. The saturation of color varies from piece to piece and according to gold content.

Caring For Your Gold Jewelry

To keep gold shining and scratch-free, avoid contact with chlorine and other harsh chemicals. Do not wear jewelry during rough work and be sure to store it in a fabric-lined jewelry box or pouch. To clean gold jewelry, use warm water, a mild soap, and a soft bristled brush, if needed.

This review is from: 14k White Gold 6mm Comfort Fit Men's Wedding Band (Jewelry)

I looked and looked for a band, in everything from platinum to 10k white gold. I considered paying much more for a ring, but took a chance and had this delivered to my door in two days via Amazon Prime.

This is a beautiful ring. Very comfortable and true to size. It is excellently polished and much thicker and heavier than my father's band. The inside of the ring is stamped with Benchmark, which I discovered is the brand name of the ring. My research has led me to believe that Benchmark makes a quality product, and the proof is in the pudding, as I can't find any flaws.

I would say that the only downside might be the packaging, as it comes in a very basic dark blue box inside of a blue velvet pouch. This was not a concern for me at all. As a matter of fact, I purchased my fiance's band from Tiffany and it was similarly packaged.

In a nutshell, if quality is your concern, fear not. I have seen inferior rings at nearly every local jewelry store for double the money. You will not be disappointed!

This review is from: Men's 14k White Gold 6mm Comfort Fit Wedding Band Ring, Size 9.5 (Jewelry)

I've been married about 3.5 years and my wife and I agreed we have progressed along enough to do first upgrades to our wedding rings. I'm in the Army and wanted something tough when we initially searched for rings. I went with tungsten carbide, which was a great ring and has held its own through all the abuse. Over time, I have come to realize that some of the little knicks and scars we obtain over time are what gives us our personal character. Similarly, a ring does the same. So I began my search for a white gold ring to match my wife's.

This ring is a beautiful, classic, elegant statement and I couldn't be happier. There is no yellow hue like previous reviews, and it is a Benchmark ring, which carries a quality brand (so you know you aren't getting a knock-off). It's extremely comfortable, truly sized, and overall I couldn't be happier with my purchase. A wedding ring symbolizes the most important person in the world to me, and this ring is truly the right one for me. Big thanks to amazon for their product quality and quick shipping.

My husband had never worn any rings in his life, so he was worried about it feeling really weird and or hurting in some way. The ring was true to size and very, very smooth. He put it on on our wedding day and has never taken it off. He says it's very comfortable and sometimes he forgets it's there. It's just the correct width for him, he has large hands (he's 6'3") and this didn't pop out at you nor look too feminine. We are very happy with this purchase.
