About Gold Jewelry
Gold Purity
The purity of gold is measured in karats. Pure gold measures 24 karats but is too soft in this state to be used effectively in jewelry. So it is alloyed with other metals--silver, copper, nickel, and zinc--to increase its strength and durability. Common measurements once the alloy is added are 18 karat (75% gold), 14 karat (58%), and 10 karat (47.7%). In the United States, the legal karat limit for the metal to still be considered gold is 10 karats. A higher karat measurement in gold content indicates a greater value of the jewelry piece. Gold jewelry should always be stamped with the karat mark, either 18k, 750 (European marking for 18k), 14k, 585 (European marking for 14k), or 10k. In addition, to assure its quality, the piece should be stamped with the manufacturer's trademark or country of origin.
Gold Color
The color of gold may vary based off of the type of metal alloy included and the percentage of the metal alloy used. Most commonly, gold is available in yellow, white and rose coloring.
Yellow gold is the most common color and is usually alloyed with silver and copper. Yellow and white gold are similar in strength and malleability, making them perfect for jewelry that is worn daily.
White gold is alloyed with nickel, copper, and zinc--and while it looks similar to platinum, it has vastly different properties.
Rose-colored gold is alloyed with copper and is often used to accent white or yellow gold. The saturation of color varies from piece to piece and according to gold content.
Caring For Your Gold Jewelry
To keep gold shining and scratch-free, avoid contact with chlorine and other harsh chemicals. Do not wear jewelry during rough work and be sure to store it in a fabric-lined jewelry box or pouch. To clean gold jewelry, use warm water, a mild soap, and a soft bristled brush, if needed.

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Nice necklace!
By cindi lou hoo
Really happy with our purchase. Not too big, not too small and pretty nice quality.
My only complaint would be that the writing on the heart (the engraving) is a bit small and hard to read, especially if giving as a gift for someone with more limited eyesight.
All in all, a nice necklace! Would buy it again.

Good looking, poor quality.
By H. Taylor
My mom was happy when she had received this for mothers day, and even the shipment was early! It was expected to be a late gift (the day after) but i had actually received it a day earlier. That was the great news.
The thing that really stood out to me that was a disappointment was the quality of the metal and durable feel of the chain and ornament. The chain is extremely thin, although luxurious looking, it sure will NOT stand up to any abuse what so ever. I was a bit scared to even put the necklace around my mother's neck for the chain feels that cheap! The heart pendant is nice looking overall, but again the quality of that is poor as well. The text is extremely small, and you can only read it with 20/20 vision i say at my best guess and nothing less. Overall its a good looking piece, but definitely a very delicate one that you should only given to someone who will take those unnecessary protective precautions to keep it from being damaged.
