Whether you are an avid fan or the wearer, you absolutely know the pleasures of a gold necklace. This precious metal does not fail to draw someone’s attention and to express a lovely style and impression. This is especially true to gold necklaces. With all the intricate designs out in the market, jewelers are even more like obligated to produce more beautiful and elegant necklaces.

Back in fashion is the gold name necklace. If you are planning to have your own name necklace, always know the durability of the metal on which to plate your name. Be more particular when it comes to gold.

Gold name necklaces can be made of the finest 10k gold, 14k gold, 18k gold and 24k gold. “K” stands for karat or karatage which means purity. That makes a 24k Gold Name Necklace 100% gold. For brevity, 24k gold is made up of pure gold. It sounds fabulous but this composition may not be able to hold on extreme usage. It is because pure gold is too soft for any jewelry.

An 18k gold jewelry piece is made up of 75% gold. This composition is highly recommended for any type of jewelry. Your name necklaces will be very strong with this composition. It is mixed with other metals to make gold stronger.

You must consider that this accessory is to be worn around your neck which can be very eye-catching. It is quite embarrassing to pick up your broken necklace especially when you are on a date. If you opt for rich gold color necklaces, 18k gold is the best option.

On the other hand, 14k gold is made up of 58.3% gold. The remaining percentage is made up of several metals. This can really make your necklace stronger than an 18k gold. However, it is not as shiny and polished as 18k gold. They usually look dull and plain.

The least recommended composition is 10k gold. It is only composed of 41.7% gold. It is prone to corrosion. Also, there is a high risk of skin discoloration and irritation. For that matter, most jewelers do not give high appraisal for a 10k gold.

So if you want to wear your name everyday, choose an item that has a high gold content. Your name necklace will really last longer than you think. You may choose having an 18k or 24k. You may also reconsider this if you are allergic to nickel or other metals.

The higher the gold content, the higher the price gets. Depending on your willingness to spend for your name necklace, you will get your name designed beautifully and elegantly.  Make sure you are paying the right karat. Once you have purchased one, make a proper sanitation of your necklace.

Your sweat can really harm the metal. You may experience greenish substance accumulation in your chain or plate. You may bring this to your jeweler and have it cleaned or you may use recommended solution for personal cleaning.
