See this 　　 There are many jewelry inlay materials on the market that are made of 18K gold, such as emeralds, diamonds, pearls and so on.　　 This one million diamond ring uses 18K gold ▼　　　　 However, 18K gold is not pure gold, but is made of 75% gold mixed with other metals. Seeing this player may have questions in their hearts.　　　　 Why not use pure gold?　　　　 Is the merchant deliberately cutting corners for profit?　　　　 look down on us, afraid we can't afford it?　　　　 is actually not. 18K gold is used for inlay, just because 18K gold is more suitable for inlay than other gold. Why is it more suitable? Let’s first give you some knowledge of pure gold and K gold.　　　　Pure gold: There is no 100% pure gold in reality, so as long as the gold content reaches 99.6% and above, it is called pure gold, also called 24K gold.　　24k gold▼　　　　K gold: K gold refers to an alloy made by smelting gold and other metals. The gold content of 1K is 4.1667%, and 18K is 18x4.1667%u003d75%. In other words, the gold content in 18K gold is only 75%, and the remaining 25% is other metals. And different metals and gold are smelted into alloys, which will show different colors. Take 18K gold, for example, 75% gold + 25% copper will appear rose gold; 75% gold + 25% iron will appear blue.　　K gold ▼　　　　 After understanding pure gold and karat gold, let’s compare the characteristics of the two, and everyone will know why.　　　　① Hardness comparison: 　　　　The hardness of 18K gold is much higher than that of 24K gold. It is used to inlay jewels that are stable and not easy to deform, wear-resistant, and have better gloss after polishing. However, the hardness of 24K gold is not enough, and the jewelry is easy to fall off and damage when inlaid, and it is also easy to deform when worn. It can be seen that 18K gold is more suitable for inlaid jewelry and more practical.　　　　②Process comparison 　　　　 Compared with 24K gold, 18K gold has better flexibility and ductility. Coupled with its low melting point and high hardness, it can be used to design and manufacture products with fine craftsmanship. Because of its own characteristics, 24K gold cannot be done with many fine crafts, such as drawing, briquetting, etc., so there are few styles that can be designed, and it cannot be made too detailed, and it is easy to wear. So in terms of artistic performance and durability, 18K gold is also more advantageous.　　　　③Color contrast 　　　　 There are many colors of 18K gold, such as silver, rose gold, gold, blue, black, etc., because it can be made into different colors according to the ratio of different metals. In this way, people can choose different colors of 18K gold to match and make according to their own preferences and the color of the gems. The products produced will be more beautiful.　　　　④Price comparison　　　　The price of 18K gold is also much cheaper than 24K gold. Of course, many people with strong economic power don't care about this little money, but it's good for petty bourgeois people to save some money.　　　　 According to the above comparison, it can be seen that 18K gold inlaid gemstones has more refined craftsmanship, diverse styles, durability and resistance to deformation, and the price is more affordable. No wonder merchants have chosen 18K gold to inlay gemstones. You don't need to be attached to 24K gold when buying.　　　　 The above is the information about jewelry inlays summarized by the author for you. The information comes from the Internet.
