When gold is made into jewelry, it is mixed with other metals. The percent of gold is specified by the carat weight, as well as the age and origin of the item. Generally, a professional must determine the value of the gold.
The carats tell how pure the gold is. Pure gold is 24 carat. The fraction of 24 carats that the carat count is would be the fraction of gold in a piece of jewelry. For example, 18 karat gold is 75% gold and 12 karat is 50% gold.
I'm Pretty sure it stands for Carats Gold. Not real carrots that are orange and you eat, but carats that tell you how much gold is in your ring.
It doesn't work this way when measuring gold. In the Metric system, 9 Carats= 1.8g, but that doesn't have anything to do with gold. Carats in gold refer to the purity and softness of the gold.
Look-like gold jewels are sometimes too much brighter or as dark as copper as it's quite hard to reach the exact color of an 18 carat gold which is unique... plated gold jewels look exactly like a gold jewel, but the metal they use will lie for or it's rough or too heavy or even too light... The best thing if you're about to buy a gold jewelery is to buy it at a well known Gold jewel shop...:-)) you can tell if you look on the flask of the necklace you have. or it is somewhere on the ring.
Jewelers RARELY use old gold for casting, as it corrupts the casting process due to the nature of the metal and other impurities. Most of the time when they tell you they are using it, they are NOT. There is a product called CleanCast that helps the process, but fresh gold is ALWAYS better. If you use gold that is old, you can't be assured of the quality of the outcome. Poracity, crystallization of the metal and poor flow will make your piece look bad. A good jeweler will credit you for your scrap gold but most probably use his own refined gold to cast a piece
honestly i dont know but if you scrap it on a mirror and if it leaves a mark then its real but if it doesnt its FAKEEE. honestly i dont know but if you scrap it on a mirror and if it leaves a mark then its real but if it doesnt its FAKEEE.
A jeweller can estimate the carat size of a stone, however, to learn its true carat weight, a stone must be removed from its setting and weighed.
call your local scrap metal dealer and they will tell you.
How can I tell gold
Impossible to answer ! You'd need to tell us all the dimensions and the thickness of the walls !
We tell real gold by its weight.
Let me explain. Carats are used to specify how pure the gold is. 24 carat gold means, if you divide the gold bar into 24 parts, it has 24 parts of gold. That means 100% pure gold. 22 carat gold means, out of 24 parts of the gold, only 22 parts are gold and the rest can be silver/copper. So it is 91.6 % (22/24) pure. This is most widely used in jewellery making. Thats why many jewellers say their jewellery is made using 916kdm gold. Soverign (8gm) is the term used to measure the weight of the gold, be it 22 carat or 24 carat. I think the person is trying to tell you how much the bar will weigh when converted to 22 carat.
