His column, Jewelry Journal, appears periodlcally in The Observer and offers tips on how to buy quality JeweL-y and consumer information. How many times have we heard the old saying "It's as good as gold"? With gold Jewelry the truth of the matter is, gold is only as good as the alloys mixed within it. As everyone knows pure gold is graded as 24 karat. In gold's natural form it is a fairly soft metal. Certain alloys must be mixed with it to give it strength. Remember: when an alloy is mixed with pure gold, this lowers the "karat" of the gold (how much depends on the amount of alloy used). Some of the alloys used in gold are copper, silver, brass and nickle. Alloy also determines the color of the golck For example, pink gold is a cofnbination of gold and copper. White gold is a blend of gold, silver, and nickle, and yellow gold most commonly seen in Jewelry is a blend of gold, silver, and copper. By now you can see what an important factor alloy is in gold processing. If the alloy is not "pure and clean" it can have a negative effect on the gold. Hair llne cracks and pits usually found on rings could be a sign of poo gold quality. Whe buying gold examine the price carefully• With rings check the shank first. Is it heavy with a nice finish? Or is it thin, weak and flimsy? Check the Policetnen 's Ball is scheduled for Nov. 14, 7 p:m., at The Aqua Turf REAL ESTATE AND YOU prongs and make sure the stones are tight. When buying basic gold chain, remember that you're paying for the weight of the gold. Try to buy it that way. Avoid stores that won't tell you the gram weight. When choosing a chain once again question the durability of the price. Many fiat chains have a %vide" look. but in fact are very thin. These chains are extremely susceptible to kinking and breaking. Solid rope and link chains (depending on the weight) are very good, and with proper care should last. Chains which should be avoided are hollow rope and extremely thin herringbone. Remember you don't want your chain in the shop being repaired more than you wear it.
