The Klassics Collection
The Klassics gold jewelry collection is designed to be just the
way it sounds: classic. All pieces included in this collection
are pure 10k gold – they are not filled, plated or dipped.
Jewelry manufactured from 10k gold does not react with other
elements to create tarnish, resulting in a lustrous finish day-in
and day-out.
This precious metal is lustrous and never goes out of style. It
is suited for everyday use because 10k gold is more durable and
less likely to bend than higher-karat gold jewelry, and is more
affordable. The Klassics collection offers pieces in both
traditional 10k yellow gold as well as 10k white gold for a more
modern and relevant look, and specializes in classic hoop
earrings and basic chains.
The 10k gold Klassics earring collection includes hoops in all
sizes, millimeters and diameters. From the most affordable
endless hoop earring to the more fashionable larger earrings, all
are made for pierced ears and finished with strong 10k gold
closures. They are the perfect gift for anyone, and they are the
building blocks of a basic jewelry wardrobe. Smaller hoop
earrings can be worn for a more subtle look, or throw on a pair
of bigger hoops when you feel like being noticed – and
complimented. Regardless of age, occasion, or decade, a hoop
earring is always appropriate. Feel secure knowing that you are
wearing real karat gold jewelry in a time-honored design.
The 10k gold Klassics basic chain collection offers a
comprehensive selection, including all of the essential and
necessary styles to add to your everyday jewelry wardrobe. These
chains come in a variety of lengths and millimeter sizes, and are
offered in both white and yellow gold. Durable box chains are
perfect for pendants or charms, and have a clean, modern look. Or
opt for the delicately elegant Singapore chain, in a twisted
design that never fails to catch the light. The snake chain is
shiny and sleek - and strong enough to hold your heavier pieces
so you don’t have to worry. Our solid diamond-cut rope chains are
hand-made, sturdy, and substantial. All of the 10k gold chains in
this collection are perfect to wear with your favorite
collectible, yet are equally beautiful worn alone to add a subtle
gleam to any outfit.
There is a piece of Klassics 10k gold jewelry for everyone. These
are the pieces that you reach for every day, the gifts you
receive when you’re beginning your own special gold jewelry
collection, and the pieces you keep adding to your jewelry box
for a selection that is timeless.
Karat Gold is a “noble metal” meaning it has very special and
enduring properties. Hence, it has been long sought after through
the ages and used as adornment in jewelry, coinage, and the arts.
Gold does not rust, tarnish, or corrode, and with basic care,
gold “glows” for years to come. Since gold is malleable, ductile
and has tenacity, it can be shaped, formed and molded into almost
any design that will hold its definition. Gold is also
hypoenic.
“Pure Gold” or “Fine Gold” is known as 24k gold, which indicates
that it is entirely gold, 24 parts out of 24. However, most
jewelry is made from either 18k gold, 14k gold or 10k gold. While
yellow gold is the most traditional color, by mixing gold with
other alloys, jewelers can create stunning shades of gold: white
gold, pink gold, rose gold, orange gold and even green gold are
just some of the many colors that are becoming more available.
Pure gold is “alloyed” or mixed with other metals for added
strength, hardness and to produce a variety of colors. The
percentage of gold to the total weight of gold plus alloy is what
is referred to as gold’s “karatage” or the karat of gold. The use
of the term “solid gold” always refers to an item of gold that is
solidly of gold or of a gold alloy throughout. In the United
States, “karat” with a “K” refers to the quality of the gold.
Karatage is one of the most important factors to consider when
buying gold.
Higher karatage gold jewelry products offer heightened intrinsic
value that is higher than the lower karatage equivalents. For
example, one gram of 14k gold is more valuable than one gram of
10k gold. Higher karatage gold also offers a heightened emotional
perceived value.
Karatage is often perceived as a seal of quality rather than a
mathematical reference to percentage of gold. This is true to the
extent that the U.S. laws mandate a minimum (41.7% for 10k Gold)
a of karatage in order to be legally called “gold.”
Cleaning and Caring for your Gold Jewelry
If treated carefully, a gold jewelry item can last a lifetime and
even handed down to future generations. Gold is lasting and
durable but can get scratched or dented if treated roughly. This
is particularly true of items worn on the hands like rings and
bracelets that are prone to a lot of knocks, so remove these
pieces before any type of strenuous activity.
Also, beware of s. Gold’s worst enemy is chlorine. Keep
your gold jewelry away from chlorinated cleaning products and out
of swimming pools, etc. On a related note, s, abrasives and
other harsh s found in some common household cleaning
solutions can weaken your jewelry or damage its finish. It is
best to remove all gold jewelry when handling these types of
products.
Gold can lose its luster over time if repeatedly exposed to dust,
moisture, perspiration and makeup. Make sure to clean your
jewelry regularly to remove these substances; you can use a
cleaning solution of lukewarm water and a mild soap. After
cleaning and rinsing, always dry and polish jewelry with a
chamois or soft cloth to avoid scratches and to bring out its
shine.
Proper storage is as important as cleaning. Protect your gold
jewelry by storing it safely in a jewelry box or keeping it
wrapped in a soft cloth when not being worn.
Gold Purity
The purity of gold is measured in karats. Pure gold measures 24
karats but is too soft in this state to be used effectively in
jewelry. So it is alloyed with other metals--silver, copper,
nickel, and zinc--to increase its strength and durability. Common
measurements once the alloy is added are 18 karat (75% gold), 14
karat (58%), and 10 karat (47.7%). In the United States, the
legal karat limit for the metal to still be considered gold is 10
karats. A higher karat measurement in gold content indicates a
greater value of the jewelry piece. Gold jewelry should always be
stamped with the karat mark, either 18k, 750 (European marking
for 18k), 14k, 585 (European marking for 14k), or 10k. In
addition, to assure its quality, the piece should be stamped with
the manufacturer's trademark or country of origin.
Gold Color
The color of gold may vary based off of the type of metal alloy
included and the percentage of the metal alloy used. Most
commonly, gold is available in yellow, white, and rose coloring.
Yellow gold is the most common color and is usually alloyed with
silver and copper. Yellow and white gold are similar in strength
and malleability, making them perfect for jewelry that is worn
daily.
White gold is alloyed with nickel, copper, and zinc--and while it
looks similar to platinum, it has vastly different properties.
Rose-colored gold is alloyed with copper and is often used to
accent white or yellow gold. The saturation of color varies from
piece to piece and according to gold content.
Caring For Your Gold Jewelry
To keep gold shining and scratch-free, avoid contact with
chlorine and other harsh s. Do not wear jewelry during
rough work and be sure to store it in a fabric-lined jewelry box
or pouch. To clean gold jewelry, use warm water, a mild soap, and
a soft bristled brush, if needed.
