Gold was the first metal used by humans and it is very easy to work for its pure state. Nowadays, the creation of jewelry is used by the mined or recycled gold. Each year, about 78 % is used just for the production of Gold.

Because of the characteristics having by gold was the reason why it is the applicable gemstone in creating jewelries. These aspects are included of: adorable yellow color; befoul resistance; high luster; can be hammered into thin sheets to form any shapes and the capability to drawn into wires. Another very important thing is that it is traditional to use gold in making jewelries.

The pure gold is too soft that is why it has the ability to stand up from stresses applied when making jewelries. It is discovered by the Craftsmen that combining Gold to another form of minerals like silver, platinum and copper can increase its durability. Since then it is practiced by them to combine Gold with the other mineral because of this good effect.

In spite of the good effect of combining Gold to other mineral, it can lower the value per unit of the pure gold. “Karatage” a known standard trade was established to label the gold content of the combination. High karat jeweler is softer and more resistant to disgrace while the low karat jewelry is vice versa of it especially when it experienced to have a contact with perspiration.

Through combining Gold to another metal can change of color of the finished item. Yellow gold is the combination of 75% gold, 16% silver and 9% of copper yields while White Gold is 75% gold, 4% silver and 17% of palladium. Other combination of metal to Gold of may affect peach, green, pink and even black colored metals.

Hope they took extra care in cleaning that diamond.  At Gold-Cash the state of your jewelry doesn’t matter to us.  Broken, old, or just unwanted we’ll still give you the highest payout for your gold.

Tanya Mayhew asked inmate Anthony McCoy to remove the gold from his teeth while being processed at the jail.  McCoy informed the guard that the gold was permanently attached to his teeth and could not be removed and the guard proceeded to remove the gold by hand.  McCoy’s attorney claimed that his client’s enamel was ripped from four teeth and that his client was only given Tylenol for medical treatment until about two weeks later when a dentist was called.

Taypayer’s in Tennessee probably aren’t too happy about being stuck with the $95,000 bill.  Lt. Mayhew was demoted and received five days suspension.  Getting serious cash for your gold isn’t like pulling teeth here at Gold-Cash.  If you’re looking to sell old, broken, or unwanted gold jewelry give us a call today, we even accept dental gold.

The easiest way to to avoid green skin from jewelry is to buy high carat gold and platinum jewelry.  If you’re unable to afford higher quality jewelry then seek out hypoallergenic jewelry that is lined with rhodium plating.  The quickest and cheapest fix to stop your jewelry from changing the color of your skin is to put clear nail polish on the parts of the jewelry that touch your skin.  Gold-Cash hopes these tips help you solve your jewelry skin changing problems.

Initially, platinum jewelry was only popular in Japan, U.S., and China.  In India platinum was primarily used for industrial consumption in the auto and photography sectors.  The metal’s potential use in jewelry eventually allowed platinum to be in huge demand in urban India.  One problem facing platinum re-sale is its close resemblance to silver and aluminum.  Such concerns force jewelry buyers to pay close attention to the quality of the platinum.  If you’re looking to get cash for your platinum, gold, and silver jewelry contact us today.  We have six locations, a mail-in service, and offer a 110% Price Guarantee.

Here are some helpful hints on how to care for your gold jewelry until you are ready to sell!

Gold is one of the most popular precious metals available.  Almost everywhere you go you will see someone wearing a piece of gold jewelry, whether it is a ring, necklace, or simple earrings.  Gold jewelry can come in many different styles and colors, which may be why it is so popular.  However, because gold is also very soft, it does require some special care.  Here are some ways to care for your gold jewelry properly.

Tips and Tricks

All of your gold jewelry will benefit from some tender loving care.  There are certain things that you should keep in mind when maintaining your jewelry.  If you follow these tips and suggestions, your jewelry will be sure to last for generations.

  • Take off your gold jewelry when you bathe or clean the house.  The soap won’t damage the jewelry but it will leave a nasty film that will coat the precious metal.  Keep your jewelry beautiful longer by avoiding the grime.
  • Remove your gold jewelry before getting in the pool or hot tub.  Chlorine can permanently damage or discolor gold jewelry.  In fact, chlorine will react with the gold even more quickly at high temperatures.
  • Keep your gold jewelry away from hard, abrasive materials.  Gold is a very soft metal and can scratch easily.
  • Store your jewelry in a velvet-lined box or wrapped in tissue paper.  Small bags and pouches are ideal for storing gold jewelry.  If you have diamond jewelry, keep it away from the gold, as it can damage it.
  • After cleaning, make sure that your jewelry is completely dry before putting it away.  Moisture can damage clasps and springs.

Special Cleaning Hints for Gold Jewelry

Gold jewelry with gemstones should be cleaned by a professional, or following special instructions since you may damage the setting or the stones.  As long as your gold jewelry does not have gemstones, there are some special cleaning tips that you might keep in mind.

  • Always use a chamois cloth to clean your gold.  This type of cloth is extremely gentle and will keep the gold’s luster as new.
  • If your gold jewelry has become greasy, you can degrease the piece by dipping it into rubbing alcohol for a few minutes.  Simply rinse it off.
  • For tarnished gold jewelry, you can use a simple commercial jewelry cleaner.  However, regular soap and water with a few drops of ammonia will also do the trick.  Using a toothbrush, simply scrub the jewelry and rinse.
  • If you want to use an ultrasonic cleaner for your gold jewelry, talk to a professional jeweler first.

Gold has been adored for thousands of years, and many pieces have lasted as long.  By following the suggestions above, you should be able to enjoy your gold jewelry for years to come.  Properly caring for your jewelry will also maintain its value, should you ever want to sell it later on.
