Gold jewelery is very popular and has been for centuries. It has and continues to be a sign of wealth, prosperity and style. Gold jewelery is available in a variety of alloy options. From 10 karat gold, which contains a higher ratio of metal mixed in with the gold – to 24 karat gold, which is 99.99% pure gold, there are a lot of jewelery options designed to suit every budget.

Types and Designs:

In terms of style, gold jewelery of any karat rating is sure to draw attention. For those on a budget, gold-plated jewelery is a viable option. This kind of jewelery is made of a base metal and coated with a thin sheet of gold. Unfortunately, because this coating is so thin, the gold will eventually erode, displaying the base metal underneath.

Gold is available in a variety of styles, and appropriate jewelery can be purchased for men, women and children. Traditionally, men wear functional rather than aesthetic jewelery, and therefore will be likely to purchase gold cuff-links, tie pins, pocket watches, money clips, buttons and belt buckles.

Many men also wear jewelery for aesthetic purposes and as such, will be apt to purchase a gold ring, necklaces, earrings and bracelets. Men’s gold jewelery can be quite attractive and detailed, with inlaid work and precious stones.

Women tend to prefer jewellery for aesthetic purposes, and love to buy necklaces, bracelets, brooches, earrings, navel rings, pendants and wrist watches. Such jewellery may be purchased in classic, plain styles or may be quite detailed and contain one or more precious stones or a combination of metals.

Children’s jewelery is generally designed to hold their attention and is often designed in fun, appealing styles.

Where to Buy:

When looking to purchase gold jewelery, there are several sources you can check:

Retail Stores: This is the safest route when buying gold jewelery, as consumers are able to try on the pieces, compare them with others side by side and ask questions of the jeweler. Jewelery stores can be located by accessing a local business directory or the Internet.

Online Retailers: Many retail stores offer online shopping, so it is possible to buy jewelery from anywhere in the world. This is a great option for those comfortable with shopping over the internet.

Online Auctions: Websites such as eBay offer consumers the option of bidding against others for their favorite items. It is possible to find a variety of jewelery at excellent prices via such sites. Many sellers offer new and used jewelery, and will be happy to discuss the quality of their merchandise prior to your placing a bid.

Caring for Your Jewelery:

Gold jewelery is best stored in a velvet lined jewelery box or in small pouches, wrapped in tissue paper for added protection. It may be cleaned by gently brushing with a soft bristled toothbrush, dipped in soapy water
