Gold Wedding Ring scratched…quality?
Is there a difference in the quality of gold wedding Rings besided the karat? Mine is awfully scratched after only a few months. I am sure I can have it buffed, but it will scratch again. Any help?
Thanks for all the info. I knew about the softness and karat, I just wondered about the other metals in there. I never had any gold scratch like this. It’s only been 4 months and it is really bad.I bought 10 because I thought that would keep it nice longer.
24 karat gold is pure gold, with nothing added to it. It is usually a richer yellow, almost orange color, but it is also very soft.
18 karat gold is not “as valuable”, because it’s not pure gold. Some alloys are added to it to make it stronger, so it doesn’t bend or scratch as much as pure gold, but it’s still pretty soft.
14 karat gold is the most common gold used in jewelry, because it is just over 55% gold and the rest are alloys, which makes is stronger, but still retains the beautiful gold color.
9 or 10 karat gold is the strongest gold based metal, but because there are so many alloys in it to make it stronger and more scratch resistent, it starts to lose it’s gold color, and isn’t as pretty as 14k or higher.
