How 20carat and less can be gold plaited as shown in some watches.?

because it depends on the purity(karat)of the gold solution used  for the plating of any metal object.\n\ngold ions from the gold object and the gold solution will be transferred to the object to be plated\n\nif you want to plate the object to be 16K then you use an 16K soulution with an object that contains 16k purity

As stated, 24 karat (with a K) gold is pure; 22K gold would be approximately 92% pure, with the remainder being copper and silver.  In this case, karat measure the purity.\n\nDiamonds are weighed by carats (with a C), which is equal to 200 milligrams.  Apart from being pronounced the same, this is a completely different measurement than the one for gold.

Yes, have your jeweler dip it in white gold, it should look like new.

How much do you want to spend?\n\nReal gold (99%) is very yellow in color and too soft for normal jewelry (it's soft somewhat like lead).  If you saw real 99% gold you'd never forget it - it is really quite yellow and nothing else looks like it.\n\nFor jewelry, you wouldn't even want real gold, and the things that are added (silver, nickel, etc.) to make it harder always add a 'silver' luster to it (they HAVE to if you think about it - they are silver in color).  Adding copper would shift it to the 'red' side, but it doesn't really make it like the original pure yellow color.\n\nFor gold bullion, you're talking about real money, so if there is any question as to its purity, you can take it to a precision laboratory and they can give you a report on exactly what is in it.  Cost is about $100 for 12 elements, and they will report how much silver, nickel, etc. down to parts per million if you want.\n\nI'd say for jewelry (unless you're going to spend a LOT of money), it isn't worth buying jewelry with a high gold content (partly for the reason you mention).  High gold content jewelry wears out easily and its value is always in question so is impractical (its too expensive to wear).  Buy Krugerands if you want an investment.\n\nBut if you've got money to burn, there is nothing like a real gold necklace or bracelet:  it is heavy, yellow, and feels great on your skin!  But unless you're Donald Trump, it's a waste (I don't think even he would wear pure gold).  The only reason to do it:  because YOU like it.\n\nDensity measurements would confirm solid gold, but they are a little tricky to perform and the accuracy isn't as high as the analytical measurements.\n\nThere is one test you can easily perform: ever heard of the acid test?  You can dunk the jewelry in acid, and if it starts foaming and dissolving, it's not pure gold - but then again, jewelry should not BE pure gold.

You would not want to plate white gold with platinum, you should do this with regular gold for the simple fact that yellow gold is cheaper than white gold so you would be cutting your overheads.

<>24 carat is considered "pure" gold.

Depends how much carat gold your jewels are made of, or if mixed with for example silver. 24 karats will be of more value then 18 karats. You could have it checked out by a certified jewelry store. They can estimate the price for you. If it is old jewelry like from greatgrandma or something, the cuttings or the way that it is made or fabricated can sometimes be of more value then the value of the gold itself. In thta case a respected antiquedealer os shop is also worth visiting.

let's see if i can come up with 10 facts....\n\n\n1. you can change the color of gold by mixing it with an alloy (eg, white gold, rose gold)\n2. there is no such thing as white 24k gold.\n3. the higher the concentration of gold in a piece, the softer it is\n4.if you have a sheet of 24k gold, you can rip it like a piece of paper\n5. largest nugget of near-pure gold discovered was found in Australia. It produced 142 pounds of pure gold. \n6.scientists believe that there may be 70 million tons of gold dissolved in the ocean\n7. gold's chemical symbol is Au from the Latin word for gold, aurum. \n8. a lump of pure gold the size of a matchbox can be flattened into a sheet the size of a tennis court.\n9. absolutely pure gold is so soft that it can be molded with the hands.\n10. an ounce of gold can be stretched into a wire 50 miles long\n\n\n\n\nnot sure if they are "astounding" but there you go. 10 facts about gold.

While 14k gold has more gold in it, 13k is uncommon and would have to be a custom alloy. because of this, it would cost more to have a piece of jewelery made from it. if a piece is marked  13k, look carefully, it could be 18k (which is common) with a messed up 8

yes gold is based on a 24 part scale for example when u have 14 kt gold u have 14 parts gold and 10 parts other material generally your gold vendors use nickel in white gold and for yellow gold generally copper zinc or sometimes a palladium so anything under 24kt gold is mixed with other material in one hand to cut the gold and in the other to make the gold stronger due to the malluability of gold.

Look for any of these marks:\n\nSilver- Ster, Sterling, 800, 900, 925\n\nGold- 585, 9K, 10K, 12K, 14K, ect.\n\nIf they are unmarked:\n\nDo not acid test, especially silver! Take them to a Jeweler. Most of the time, they will tell you for free.

because there is only 24hours a day and its easer to put 12 then 24 numbers plus 12 is half of 24 \nand there  are some watches i know that have 24 numbers instead of 12 you can buy one if u feel better with 12numbers
