Gold & Gold Jewelry
Explore the Gold Kings guide to gold, including karats, hallmarks, testing, gold values, jewelry, bullion, scams, and everything you should know before buying or selling gold.
How much is your gold chain really worth? Learn how weight, karat, actual tested purity and the current gold price determine value—and why some chains may be worth more than their melt value.
Hollow jewelry can be real gold while weighing less than its size suggests. Compare construction, durability and gold content with solid pieces.
Rhodium gives white gold a bright surface finish. Learn why that finish wears, what a warmer color means and how plating relates to the underlying gold.
Learn what white gold contains and how it differs from silver and platinum. Karat markings, rhodium plating and professional testing help explain its value.
Yellow, white and rose gold differ mainly in their alloy metals. Compare color, karat, durability and the factors that determine jewelry value.
Fine gold describes the pure-gold content of an item. Learn how fineness marks such as 999 and 999.9 relate to karats and precious-metal value.
Karat measures gold purity, while carat measures gemstone weight. Learn the difference and how both terms affect the way jewelry is described and valued.
Gold jewelry mixes pure gold with other metals to change its color, hardness and durability. Explore common alloys and what they mean when evaluating jewelry.
Pure 24K gold is soft, so many everyday jewelry designs use lower-karat alloys. Compare purity, durability and value before choosing or selling a piece.
