I have been thinking of starting jewellery tid-bits in a digestible format for the readers of this blog.
Once I have a decent number of them I will make an e-book out of these.Here's my first one.
Gold used in Diamond jewellery is 18K whereas in Gold sets, Kanthi Sets the gold is 22K pure.
Why so? The reason is pure gold(24K) is very soft and cannot be used in jewellery of any kind as it is. So alloys are mixed in gold to make it stronger.
Prongs used in diamond jewellery to hold the diamonds need to be strong. Hence it is 18K( more alloy). Gold used in necklaces containg semiprecious stones, kanthi necklace sets and antique design gold sets are made in 22K gold(less alloy).
