Before buying a necklace, you must have a clear knowledge of the material

Posted on December 29, 2023 

Before entering the jewelry company, in my limited understanding, white is silver, yellow is gold (is there anyone like me before), like what alloy, K gold, platinum, pure gold, 3D hard gold is completely out of line, not to mention K gold is also divided into 14K, 18K, 22K. Distinguish the basic materials, at least everyone has a psychological preparation before chopping their hands, and they will not be used as 18K gold pits with the cheapest alloy

1. Silver chain

I believe that everyone is most familiar with silver jewelry, and it is right to look for the mark of 925 silver. I used to think that 925 silver was so good, but in fact, it was just that it was not allergic to wear. Silver jewelry is also easy to blacken after wearing it for a long time, and many Tiffany necklaces (such as the hot-selling double heart tag), Pandora bracelets, and APM are actually silver chains, but the price is 10 times that of the material

2. Alloys

Alloy refers to the material of two or more metals, generally including copper, iron, and steel. Alloy jewelry is hypoallergenic and easily oxidized. If you look at the details of Swarovski's materials, you can know that they are all alloys, and some of the surfaces will be gold-plated and silver-plated. I bought two necklaces at the counter, and the discoloration of more than 1,000 necklaces is really unbearable Alloy necklaces are generally only worn in the current season, so there are many new products in the Shi family, and now I buy the same style from the factory, the same alloy material ➕ artificial crystal, there is really no need to buy the counter

3.K gold

K gold is divided into 14K, 18K, and 22K, according to the gold content. 24K is pure gold, and we generally buy more 18K gold, with a gold content of about 75%. Pure gold is soft and not suitable for setting, so most of the diamonds and gemstones are inlaid in 18K gold. The melting point of K gold is also low, which is very convenient for shaping when making jewelry, and the different types and proportions of materials added can make K gold show different colors, which is more expressive and fashionable, so K gold is more popular with young people. The 18K gold necklace will be marked with 18K, Au750 or G750, and the price is also based on the weight of the gram, about 300 per gram. Generally, the price of 18K gold necklaces is more than 1K, and if it is set with diamonds and gemstones, it will rise slowly.

4. Pure gold

Generally, there is no 100% pure gold, the general purity of more than 99% can be called pure gold, the market thousand pure gold (99.9%) and ten thousand pure gold (99.99%) in fact, the naked eye can not distinguish, need to use professional instruments to issue a certificate, jewelry also have the corresponding mark.

I didn't like gold very much before, but after comparing the materials, I found that gold is the most genuine [laughing and crying R] but now it is not suitable for wearing, it is recommended to buy more gold for my mother, and the little fairies can choose K gold for their own wear, but if you like Swarovski and Pandora's style very much, and you feel that it is too profitable, it is recommended to choose the same style from the factory~ Swarovski family, APM, TIFFANY many jewelry 200-300 can be obtained in the factory!

So really, really, really, it's really great value to buy the same style from the jewelry factory!
