The Gold Rush (Adreliane) |
|
|
| People have been using gold to make jewelry since the Stone Age. Since the beginning of time, the intrinsic beauty, warmth, sensuality and spiritual richness of gold has earned it the pride of place in jewellery. Gold has inspired us craftsman to create objects of desire that unite us with our emotions. |

Gold
has been linked with the sun throughout
history. Often
described as sunshine you can touch, gold has been revered
in almost every culture . The suns warmth is reflected in Gold - Beautiful, desirable and incorruptible. |
|
For
thousands of years gold has been the fascination of many
Kingdoms - the Greeks, Egyptians, Aztecs and Romans fought
and often died for it. Gold
has also been used in medicine for centuries - it was believed by
some prehistoric cultures to be a magic cure. Gold
was originally used as currency and paper money produced was
based on actual reserves of gold held by the government or
bank. From the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries many
countries minted coins but after the First World War the
minting of coins was largely suspended because supplies of
gold were low. Currently
a great range of gold products are available to investors -
the
most popular gold bullion coins are the Britannia, the
Australian Nugget,
the Canadian Maple Leaf, the South African Krugerrand and
the American Eagle. |
| Gold in its pure form is too soft to withstand abrasions caused from extensive daily wear, so it is alloyed with other metals to give it strength. Pure (or 'fine' or '24 carat') gold has a lovely warm rich yellow colour and gold jewellery is produced in it's various alloys ; as carat/karat golds & in a range of colours from white to yellow and through to red. In addition, it is possible to achieve other special colours such as blue, black and purple. |
| Pure gold is defined as 24 carat or 99.99% .Pure Gold is mixed with a percentage of alloys-metals that make the colour of gold & make it harder, and stronger. The carat mark tells you the percentage of pure gold to alloy. The higher the carat quality the greater the proportion of gold it will contain. Countries across the world allow different minimum carat standards. For example, in France and Italy the lowest permitted standard for gold is 18 carat, in Germany it is 8 carat and in the USA it is 10 carat gold. In Britain, the minimum standard has been 9 carat. Though most jewellery in the UK is 9 carat, there are also 14, 18, 22 and 24-carat gold standards. |

To clean gold jewellery, use a solution of warm water and detergent-free soap and wash gold gently with a soft-bristled brush (a dull tooth brush works well). Keep your gold jewellery away from harsh chemicals such as chlorine and cleaning fluids. This will reduce daily abrasions and prolong gold's luster. Store gold pieces separately in soft cloth bags or original boxes to protect them from the exposure to harsh daily elements. |
