yellow gold
Gold is weighted in Karats. Pure gold is 24K, meaning it is 24 parts gold and contains no alloy). 14K gold is 14 parts gold and 10 parts alloy (usually copper, silver, and zinc - though other metals are used as well). The alloy makes gold stronger (gold is a very soft metal) and can change the color (more zinc will make white gold, more copper makes rose gold, and more silver makes green gold).
silver
No, it's not more valuable from a scrap standpoint. Silver is marked according to how much actual silver it contains, up to 1000, which would be pure silver. 900 silver contains 900 units of elemental silver, and 100 units something else, usually copper or nickel. 925 silver contains 925 units of elemental silver and 75 units something else. 925 silver has more silver than 900 silver, thus, for scrap purposes, it is worth more. However, for decorative or antique value, 900 silver can be more valuable than 925 silver. 900 silver, if it is antique or a highly-sought decorative item, could fetch a much higher price than an ordinary or ugly 925 silver item. Take your items to a jewelry store that doesn't buy scrap gold or silver and ask them if your item has any resale value.
more valuable, most valuable
Gold
because it is more rare and silver is more heavy there for less portable | | Have to partially disagree with the above statement. Gold is more rare than silver while it is still in the ground. There is actually more processed gold in the world than silver. Silver is not heavier than gold. It is heavier in 'value' than gold and therefor not as portable. So why is gold more valuable than silver? Short answer - because people made it more valuable. Apparently, they like gold better. | | Gold also has more valuable industrial uses then silver for example: gold is more resistant to corrosion. Gold is also a good conductor of electricity, particularly because it resists corrosion i.e. silver actually conducts better then silver until it begins to corrode (charging metal tends to speed up corrosion). So it's not just that we 'like' gold more, there are practical reasons why gold is more valuable.
There are several metals more valuable than gold. Platinum is one.
Gold is more valuable than silver. durr.
The letters ep mean 'electro-plating'. It's where a piece of jewellery is made from a less valuable metal (silver for example) and then coated in a more expensive metal like gold.
It just means that there is a thin layer of gold metal on a less valuable metal (in this case silver) making it more affordable although the object is not solid gold :) The material should only range about $80-$150AUS :D Hoped this helped :)

pure gold (24k) vs 41.7% (10k) gold.. you decide.
Platinum.
They are both metal...the more metallic looking of the two is silver
No. When dealing with highly valuable metals, the purest form of the ore is most likely more valuable because it is marketable as solely one metal as opposed to one metal tainted by another.
The metal that it is more heavy is yellow gold metal. But silver it is much better in money price and in white fashion ! Sincerely: Living Life Enterprises.
