Luxera Jewelry Co.
Gold – a metal that has captivated humanity for millennia. Its lustrous shine and timeless appeal make it a popular choice for jewelry. At Luxera, we pride ourselves on the quality of our gold-plated stainless steel pieces. But did you know there are different types of gold used in plating?
The Karat System
The purity of gold is measured in karats, with 24 karats indicating pure gold. However, because pure gold is soft and can easily get scratched or dented, other metals are mixed in to create an alloy, which gives the gold its strength. The type of alloy used can also change the color of the gold.
- 10K Gold: This type has 41.7% gold content. It's the most durable but less shiny.
- 14K Gold: Contains 58.3% gold. It's a middle ground between durability and shine.
- 18K Gold: Has 75% gold content. It offers a brilliant shine and considerable durability.
- 24K Gold: Pure gold. While it's the shiniest, it's also the softest.
Why Luxera Chooses 18K for Gold Plating
At Luxera, we've found the sweet spot with 18K gold plating. It provides the luminous shine that our customers love, while also ensuring that the jewelry piece is durable for everyday wear. Our meticulous plating process ensures that each piece has a uniform and consistent gold layer, offering the perfect blend of luxury and longevity.
