The single word answer is: Speculation. People buy scarce items hoping they will become valuable in the future. Gold is scarce considering only 2% of all gold that exists in the earth has been dug up. With that in mind, consider the people who bought gold in 2001 when it cost about $270 per ounce. They speculated gold prices would increase over time. Their speculation earned them an increase in price of about 518%, and they made $1150 for each ounce they bought. That is a huge increase. So buying scarce items now just might these people rich, or at least they will make some increase on their speculation.
KDM 918 stamped on an item of jewelry means that the piece is 91.8 percent pure gold. These gold items have been soldered with cadmium.
Yes they can. Solder is always a lower karat gold than the object being soldered. This ensures that the solder will always melt at a lower temperature than the gold itself. If the rings are carefully heated until the melting point of the solder has been reached, the rings should be able to separate. WARNING...whoever is separating the rings must be very aware of what they are doing because the application of too much heat can cause the gold itself to warp or completely melt, thus permanently damaging or destroying the rings themselves. A reputable jeweler should have no problem separating the rings for you. take care.

Not always although they should be. I have seen many that have not been. Also even though an item is stamped that does not always mean it is gold.
From the earliest days of civilization to the present day. Gold has always been a desirable commodity.
The gold was always there in the earth and streams. The people got their by ship, by wagon train, or by horseback. pluse they always suck on a stick like a dick
