When comparing an ounce of silver and an ounce of gold, gold has always had more worth per ounce. You would be looking at paying much more for a 24 Karat solid gold ring than a sterling silver one.
because they are hard and expensive
Expensive jewelry can be found at Tiffany's and Bloomingdales. Both of these stores offer expensive jewelry that contains either diamonds, gold, silver or pearls.
925 is sterling silver, NOT gold. 585 is 14K gold.
Its a metal used for jewelry its cheaper than gold and more expensive than silver but has a silver color
Ive looked on jewelry websites and it seems that the most expensive jewelry has a lot of silver-gold or diamonds or both in them.
The jewelry that have gold tone or silver tone means that these jewelry have been plated a thin layer of gold or silver so that these jewelry have the color of silver or gold.
If it's really gold-plated ( 10K / 14K / 18K ....) you don't want to plate it with silver for the gold using is the value of the jewelry. Do u mean yellow gold plated to white gold plated? If that's what you want, the answer is yes! You can have it plated to your desired color without changing the gold content!
There are multiple types of gold aside from the traditional yellow gold. White gold and rose gold are commonly used in jewelry making. Other precious metals commonly found in jewelry are silver and platinum. Silver is a soft metal and is typically mixed with other metals such as copper. Platinum is much more rare than gold or silver and tends to be far more expensive.
yes you can it is actually more creative to use that instead :)
Silver is usually less expensive than gold and has a higher electrical and thermal conductivity. Gold is more malleable and ductile compared to silver. Both silver and gold are precious metals often used in jewelry and as investment assets.
Silver
Because on the periodic table of elements, silver and gold are among the least reactive elements. That means that they are precious and people with serious allergic reaction to jewelry made out of cheap metals like stainless steal can wear them. Since silver and gold are in limited quantities, they are considered precious metals. The fact that they cause least irritation to the skin when worn makes them the best candidates for jewelry options. This makes the silver and gold jewelry expensive, although sterling silver jewelry is much cheaper and affordable than 14K, 18K, and 22K gold.
