Which Carat is what Karat?

Karat refers to the purity of gold and is often represented by a two digit number followed by ‘ct’. Gold in it’s purest form is 24ct and is extremely malleable closely followed by 22ct which also hold the same properties. In the UK typically 9ct and 18ct are used in the jewellery industry with 14ct largely used by American and Far Eastern manufacters. 9ct is the strongest due to the alloys included within the metal but is far less pure than 18ct. A legal requirement for all newly manufactured pieces the gold hallmark stamp can be found on the inside of a rings band, pendant/ bracelet clasp or earring post. White gold is measured in the same format as this is mixed with naturally ‘whiter’ alloys and then put through a process known as Rhodium plating to produce the white metal effect.

The term ‘Carat’ is used to describe the physical weight of a precious and semi-precious stone and features in the 4 C’s of what to look for when purchasing diamond jewellery. Carat however does not necessarily constitute size (although strongly correlates) for example a ring with ten 0.10ct diamonds has the same carat weight as a ring with one 1.00ct diamond but should be priced very differently, this analogy is applied across all precious stones.

Is bigger really better?
When choosing an item of jewellery many customers believe that the bigger the stone the more expensive and ‘better’ the piece will be. This is not the case and often customers can be confused with vast price differences between stones. When purchasing a diamond or precious stone the clarity and colour is paramount in order to achieve the best aesthetics. Each stone has their own unique desired specifications and often a slightly smaller carat weight with a higher specification will give a far better ‘wow’ factor than a larger stone that is lower in quality and can look discoloured or dirty.

‘Allo Alloy’

Jewellery is manufactured in many different metals and is often a key indication whether an item is fashion orientated or fine. Fine jewellery is predominately produced in gold, platinum and palladium, each holding their own advantages and disadvantages when considering purchasing in the respective alloys.

Platinum is a rare, malleable metal that is used within jewellery and industrial equipment. Previous to its sore in popularity amongst present day jewellery platinum was often used to mount the head of a ring with the remaining items components constructed from yellow gold. Hallmarked at 950, platinum is considered the purest mounting alloy thus increasing its density and value in comparison to its white gold counter part. Naturally white in appearance platinum will indefinitely retain its colour (however will dull in appearance through general wear and tear surface scratches).

Gold is another precious, malleable metal that has been used in jewellery manufacturing and monetary currency since recorded history. Predominantly used in its 9ct and 18ct purity forms it can be alloyed to create ‘white gold’. Misconceived as yellow gold coated, white gold is a mixture of pure gold and other compound metals to create an off white base which, is then rhodium coated to create the appearance of platinum.

Palladium is a rare metal, silvery white in its appearance it was discovered in 1803 and considered a relatively new metal on the jewellery market. Palladium forms a part of the platinum metals group but is distinctively not a subsidiary of platinum. Contrary to popular assumption both platinum and palladium’s main supply is directed towards industrial use, specifically catalytic converters. Due to the aesthetics palladium was first used in jewellery in 1939, with no need to rhodium coat like it’s white gold predecessor and being less dense and monetarily inferior to platinum it became a popular choice for wedding bands and often is used as the main component in producing white gold due to its hyper allergen properties comparative to former metals such as nickel.
