What is a gold test?<\/h5>\n

The gold test determines the content of pure gold in the alloy and is expressed in per mille. For example, if the alloy contains 58.5% pure gold, its test is 585.<\/p>\n

The most popular gold tests<\/p>\n

Test 1, also called 960 – contains 96.0% gold.
\nTest 2, also called 750 – contains 75.0% gold.
\nTest 3, also called 585 – the most frequently chosen test in Poland and Europe, contains 58.5% gold.
\nFineness 4, also called 500 \u2013 contains 50.0% gold.

You can also express the gold content in carats:<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd38 24 carats \u2013 fineness 999 (theoretically 100%, in reality 99.9%).
\n\ud83d\udd38 22 carats \u2013 916 fineness.
\n\ud83d\udd38 18 carats \u2013 750 fineness.
\n\ud83d\udd38 14 carats \u2013 585 fineness.
\n\ud83d\udd38 10 carats \u2013 417 fineness.
\n\ud83d\udd38 9 carats \u2013 375 fineness.
\n\ud83d\udd38 8 carats \u2013 333 fineness.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca1 At KiANIT we offer wedding rings<\/a><\/strong> made of 585 gold (14K), because it provides the best balance between purity, strength and durability.<\/p>\n

\u2e3b<\/p>\n

Why is jewelry not made of pure gold?<\/h5>\n

\ud83d\udd39 Pure gold (999 fineness, 24K) is a very soft metal.
\n\ud83d\udd39 Jewelry made of 100% gold is susceptible to deformation, scratches and loss of shape.
\n\ud83d\udd39 To increase durability, silver, copper, nickel or palladium are added to the gold alloy.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc8e 585 (14K) gold is an ideal choice for jewelry – it provides shine and durability, while being strong enough for everyday wear.<\/p>\n

\u2e3b<\/p>\n

How to read markings on gold?<\/h5>\n

Every piece of jewelry made of precious metals must have a hallmark that confirms its authenticity. The following markings are used in Poland:<\/p>\n

\u2714 Knight’s head – means gold jewelry.
\n\u2714 Woman’s head – means silver jewelry.
\n\u2714 Horse’s head – means platinum jewelry.
\n\u2714 Dog’s head – means palladium jewelry.<\/p>\n

The hallmark also includes a designation of the place of testing:
\n\ud83d\udccd B \u2013 Bydgoszcz
\n\ud83d\udccd G \u2013 Gda\u0144sk
\n\ud83d\udccd H \u2013 Chorz\u00f3w
\n\ud83d\udccd K \u2013 Krak\u00f3w

How to check the authenticity of gold at home?<\/h5>\n

If you have doubts about the authenticity of gold, you can perform a few simple tests:<\/p>\n

\u2714 Density test \u2013 gold is heavier than most metals, so a real item will be much heavier than a fake.<\/p>\n

\u2714 Sound test \u2013 if you drop a gold item on a hard surface, it will make a clear, metallic sound.<\/p>\n

\u2714 Magnetic test \u2013 gold is not magnetic, so if jewelry attracts a magnet, it is not gold.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca1 At KiANIT, we offer a gold testing service and exchange your gold for new jewelry.<\/p>\n

\u2e3b<\/p>\n

What is white gold?<\/h5>\n

White gold is created by adding nickel, palladium or manganese to the alloy. It has a neutral, silvery shade, which is often emphasized by rhodium plating – the rhodium coating gives the jewelry a shiny shine and additional protection against scratches.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc8e At KiANIT, we use white gold coated with rhodium, which makes the jewelry more resistant to dulling and wear.<\/p>\n

\u2e3b<\/p>\n

Why does gold from different countries have a different shade?<\/h5>\n

Gold mined in different countries can have different shades:
\n\u2714 African gold – more yellow.
\n\u2714 Australian gold – closer to white.
\n\u2714 Russian gold – often has a slightly pink shade due to the addition of copper.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca1 At KiANIT, we work with certified suppliers and guarantee that our gold meets international quality standards.<\/p>\n

\u2e3b<\/p>\n

What gold grade to choose for wedding rings?<\/h5>\n

The choice of gold grade for wedding rings depends on:<\/p>\n

\u2714 Durability \u2013 the higher the grade, the softer the metal.<\/p>\n

\u2714 Color \u2013 yellow, white or pink gold.<\/p>\n

\u2714 Personal preferences \u2013 classic or non-standard designs.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc8d At KiANIT, we recommend 585 (14K) gold for wedding rings, because it is the best balance between durability, purity and aesthetics.<\/p>\n
