no actually it sucks
well technically all gold is ''good gold'' but the californian gold was pretty high standard
It would be better to buy a higer carat if it is gold filled-aim for 18ct, 24ct rather. Gold filled is good quality on its own, and will last a lifetime with the proper care. Eg, 9ct gold will last you 20years whereas 24ct gold will last you 50years. Stronger/higher carat gold bonded lasts longer. But than again, the 24ct looks very yellow.
If something is stamped "18K HGE" it is not real gold. The letters "HGE" is a quality mark used for costume jewelry, and it stands for "Heavy Gold Electroplate". The item that is electroplated has a very thin layer of gold that has been applied to its base metal, which is usually brass. This is considered "costume" jewelry since it is not gold through and through. 18KT HGE is absolutely REAL gold and in fact, the electroplating on HGE is "heavy" therefore it is quite good quality. Just because the ring is not solid gold doesn't mean the gold isn't real. The peice you have, if it appears in good condition, is very good quality.
yes it is good and quality jewelry.
Yes, Italian gold is good. There may be jewelry pieces that are sold at 14 karats. But most Italian jewelry tends to be sold as 18 karat/750+. Even more attractive than the amount of gold in each jewelry piece are the high production and design standards. Italian jewelry is considered to incorporate the finest of classical designs.One reason for the high level of expertise in jewelry working is its historic concentration in the specialty areas of Campania, Lombardy, Tuscany, and Veneto. There, the expertise often is passed on through generations of artisan families. In fact, the attention to each stage in the processing of precious metals is so meticulous and draws on such longstanding traditions that Italy's economy counts on its solid revenues from gold, platinum and silver jewelry sales.
12 karat gold is not considered a high quality of gold. It contains 50% gold and is often mixed with other metals, making it less valuable and less pure than higher karat gold like 18 karat or 24 karat.
Who cares, if its good quality its just a brand.
"10kt VG" typically refers to a type of gold alloy, specifically 10-karat (10kt) gold that is of very good quality (VG). In this context, "10kt" indicates that the gold contains 41.7% pure gold, with the remaining 58.3% made up of other metals. The "VG" designation suggests that the gold has a desirable appearance and quality, often used in jewelry.
"GFM" on gold chains typically stands for "Gold Filled Metal." Gold-filled items are made by bonding a layer of gold to a base metal, making them more durable and affordable than solid gold. This designation indicates the chain has a significant amount of gold in its construction, providing a good balance between quality and cost.
"LGB" in gold typically stands for "London Good Delivery Bar," which is a commonly traded gold bar that meets certain quality standards for trading on the London bullion market.
Not usually since gold is, well, solid gold.
