Buying gold jewelry can be fun, exciting and confusing. Here’s some information to help you get the best quality gold jewelry for your money, whether you’re shopping in a traditional brick and mortar store or online.The word gold, used by itself, means all gold or 24 karat (24K) gold. Because 24K gold is soft, it’s usually mixed with other metals to increase its hardness and durability. If a piece of jewelry is not 24 karat gold, the karat quality should accompany any claim that the item is gold.

The proportion of gold in the piece of jewelry still is determined by the karat mark. Jewelry can be plated with gold in a variety of ways. Gold plate refers to items that are either mechanically plated, electroplated, or plated by any other means with gold to a base metal. Eventually, gold plating wears away, but how soon will depend on how often the item is worn and how thick the plating is.
